Jesus is God... obviously right?

Collosians 1:15
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation."


When most people who have any knowledge about Christianity talk about who Jesus is, their opinion is normally something along the lines of " Jesus is the son of God". This statement is very true, although, what most people do when they say this is they do not put one and one together and say that Jesus IS God in the flesh.
From what I have experienced, in my very short amount of time of telling people about Jesus is that this is something that needs to be said.

Scripture makes it clear that Jesus is not just a man who is, kinda like God or that He is a guy who learned alot from God and was made some sort of super ultra wise man but rather that he actually is God.

'He (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God.'(verse 15). This statement alone is something that has so much to it in terms of how we need to change our thinking.
In our culture the same as theirs,( the audience to which this was originally written) there is alot or spirituality and following spirits that cannot be seen. In many cases this leads to a variety of forms of worship, whether it is called that or not. We all know people who are obsessed with their zodiak signs or horoscopes. People who are superstitious and believe in carma and what I will call " what goes around comes around-ism".
This is in some form the worship of a so called god that is invisible. Not even to mention other religious groups.
As Christians we no longer are left to imagine what are God would say, literally. We have testimony of men who have walked and talked with him, and have seen him in dreams after he was killed, resurrected and ascended. We don't need to guess how he would say things or how he would relate to people because we read how he loved people and took care of people and how he also yelled at people who needed to get yelled at. I think most of all saying that Jesus is the image of the invisible shows how He can talk the talk and walk the walk. He came to show us the ropes and then before he left he gave us the ability to learn from him, by being killed by us and then giving us the Holy Spirit.

To say that Jesus is God means that there is no longer any need to guess, and even better then that it means that there is no need to follow a god of inconsistency and chance when we have a God who came and lived out what He asked us to do and did it better than anyone.

He is the image of the invisible God, the first born over all creation.
