Avatar: The Image of the Invisible God (Colossians 1:15-20)

In Avatar, Jake Sully connects to his Na'vi body through neural link—seeing through different eyes, feeling with different skin. The invisible becomes visible; the foreign becomes intimate. Christ is the image of the invisible God. In Christ, the unseeable God becomes seeable; the untouchable becomes touchable. The incarnation is God's neural link to humanity. Jake discovers that what seemed alien was actually family. In Christ, we discover that the transcendent Creator is actually Father. The invisible God wanted to be known—so he made himself visible in Christ.
