If you visit an art store, you will be able to purchase prints of an original painting or photograph. Most likely you will have to go to an art gallery to purchase original artwork. The prints look just like the original, but don’t have the feel of the originals.
Hebrews 1:3 speaking of Jesus says, “He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.” Jesus didn’t come just to teach us how to live, as simply a good teacher. He didn’t just come to show us the way to God. He is the Way. He came as God Himself, showing us exactly who God is in His glory and power. The world wants to diminish who Jesus Christ is, because He puts a light upon their lives and exposes their darkness. But Jesus Himself claimed to be God and His life reveals the glory of God.
