Your mental picture of someone determines how you respond, act, behave, and relate to them. Picture our Queen in your mind, and then imagine a conversation with her, and your discover that your language changes, your conversation topics are not the same as those you have with your close friend or even your neighbour. Your mental picture of someone determines how you relate to them. This is also true with Jesus Christ. If we view him as a simple type of person who walked dusty roads, and hung out with his friends, your relationship will be different than if you see him on a throne, crowned and being worshiped by the universe. Today Pastor Marttunen engages us with a teaching on the person of Jesus in Revelation Chapter 1. In “Seeing the Risen Christ”, he shows us that we see how Christ determines how we follow him. An inadequate picture of Christ results in adequate worship and inadequate obedience.
