from Day by Day with the Persecuted Church,
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him. (Colossians 1:15, 19)
Naji Abi-Hashem
Jesus Christ is the full revelation of God. He is the absolute Word and God incarnate. He is the person that overshadows all other persons and the name that surpasses all names. He is the powerful Son of God and loving Savior of mankind. His personality and works are so profound that a genius cannot comprehend them. In addition, Jesus Christ is the ultimate standard for moral/ethical values and the supreme example of personal maturity.
He is our role model and comprehensive guide, gentle Master and wise mentor, empathetic Counselor and therapeutic Healer, reliable Savior and accomplished Redeemer, close Friend and faithful Companion, our holy and yet merciful Lord.
This is the Christ whom we love and serve and in whom we believe and trust. May His magnificent person be glorified forever.
Naji Abi-Hashem from Lebanon.
