Episode 9: Image-bearing–How are we made in God’s image and why? And what does it have to do with Messiah’s mission?

People often ask me–“Why did Yeshua/Jesus have to die?” It’s a really good question and the pat answers don’t do a lot to answer it for us. It’s one thing to know He died to set the whole world free from the powers of sin and death and quite another thing to understand why it had to happen that way. How did idolatry, the subversion of worship through a focus on the images of false gods, lead to the need for the One whom Paul referred to as “the image of the unseen God” (Col 1:15)

No transcript for this one, but I suggest checking out my book Image-bearing, Idolatry and the New Creation available on amazon.com
