In the New Testament, Jesus came as the full revelation of the ____ of God.

• A. Glory
• B. Power
• C. Image
• D. Wisdom

Answer: (C)

Jesus is described as the full revelation of the image of God. The term image here means an exact representation or visible likeness of the invisible God. In the New Testament, Jesus is identified as the image of the invisible God, making God known in a tangible way to humanity (Colossians 1:15). This emphasizes not just that Jesus displays God’s glory, power, or wisdom, but that he perfectly reflects who God is—the very essence of God made visible.

While Jesus indeed reveals God’s glory (the radiant manifestation of His presence), His identity as the image of God focuses on the intimate likeness and being of God shown in human form. The other terms—glory, power, wisdom—describe aspects of God Jesus demonstrates, but they don’t capture the full representation of God’s nature the way "image" does. Hebrews 1:3 complements this by calling Jesus the exact imprint or representation of God’s being, underscoring that Jesus is the definitive revelation of who God is.
