Dear Family, 

Today is Monday, May 11, 2026. Today is Day 37, and Day 2 of Week 6 in our Count to Pentecost. 

Jesus is the Image of the Invisible God. He was the Perfect Man and now is the Perfect Son in the perfect Image of the Invisible God, both in His outward appearance and with His Divine Nature.  

Paul wrote about Jesus as the Image of the Invisible God (Colossians 1:15). Jesus is our Forerunner (Hebrews 6:20) and has entered behind the veil that has now been torn and provides us an entrance  before the Almighty. 

Phillip, one of the original disciples, asked (John 14:9) to be shown the Father. And Jesus explained to him that if he had seen Jesus, then he had seen the Father  

It is God’s intention that we will follow Jesus into the Image of the Invisible God. He wants us to be in God’s perfect will and to be complete. That will finally happen when we are changed from flesh to an everlasting Spiritual DNA Son of God (1 John 3:1-2; 1 Corinthians 15:52)).  

God has provided promises (2 Peter 1:4) that we will be in His Image, and have His Divine Nature. All of this is possible and will be done because of the Work being completed by Jesus. As children often look like their parents, we will look like God in general appearance, and we will have His Divine  Nature when we are finally fully formed into His Image. Being formed into His Image is a purpose God has had for us from the beginning, and Jesus always successfully does His part. 

Genesis 1:26-27 (26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them  have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (27) So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.
