The truth about what you are (Part 1)

"You see, the Lord Jesus is not only the truth about God, he is the truth about man.  He was the truth about God because he was the truth about man--because...man was (supposed) to be the truth about God."  Major Ian W. Thomas

To see Jesus is to see God.  But to see Adam before he sinned would also have been to see God.  In fact, before Adam sinned, every man and woman would have been a picture of God, a portrait of what God is like.  He wanted each man and woman to be the earth creatures that look and act like him.  Because of this, the very definition of sin is for the creature to not be like the creator.  But Jesus came so we could all be reborn, so we all could look and act like God.  In the same way that Jesus could say, "If you have seen me, you have seen the father," we should be able to confidently say, "If you have seen us, you have seen the Lord Jesus."  The Lord said, "As the Father sent me, so I send you."  We are now in this world as Jesus was when He was here. 

How do we experience this?
The same way Jesus did.
