The Resurrection:
The Key to Understanding the Gospel (part 2 of 5)

IMAGE OF GOD
The interpretation of the "image of God" remains a hieroglyphic symbol for many Christian expositors. A study of the commentators and systematic theologians can produce a list of over 25 different explanations (physical stature, trichotomy, spirituality, intelligence, emotion, volition, personality, moral ability, masculinity, eternality, creativity, etc.)
From a perspective of the dynamic of Christ's Resurrection-life, we have the "key" to understand that "Christ is the image of God." (Col. 1:15; 2 Cor. 4:4). Jesus Christ, by His Resurrection-life in the Christian, allows the invisible character of God to be made visible in the behavior of man unto the glory of God. When we become a Christian, we are restored with the possibility of bearing the image of God (Gen. 1:27; Col. 3:10), because Jesus Christ (the "image of God") is the One who makes God visible. The character of God is imaged (visaged) in our behavior, as the risen Lord Jesus lives out His life through us.
