    Jesus is so much more. He is not a “copy” of God, and he is not a facsimile of God, Jesus is the exact visible image of the invisible God. And as such, He is the author of our family...the family of God.

    Today, we celebrate Easter, the incredible event in which Jesus Christ, who died on our behalf, rose again from the dead. But we really aren’t celebrating an event, but rather a Person.
