The Image of Christ - Male & Female?

Did you know there is record in the Bible about the image of Christ?
This is a huge mystery in the Bible, let's see.

Col 2:2 "... so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ..."

The Bible records that Christ is a mystery. But why? Every single Christian knows about Jesus Christ. Then, why is He a mystery? What's so mysterious about Christ?

We need to first understand what "Christ" means according to the Scriptures.

2 COR 4:4 "The god (Satan) of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God."

According to Apostle Paul; Christ = Image of God; Once we understand the image of God we can understand a mystery behind it. Then, what is the image of God?

GEN 1:27 "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them"

Male = Image of Christ
Femael = Image of Christ .... Based on this verse we can understand the mystery of Christ. Christ is not just male, but also there is a female. If the male image of Christ we call Father (Mt 6:9). Then what shall we call the female image of Christ?

GAL 4:26 "BUT THE JERUSALEM THAT IS ABOVE IS FREE AND SHE IS OUR MOTHER"

This is why Christ is mystery, because there is Male Christ and also Female Christ. Christ Ahnsahnghong is the male image of Christ and Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem is the female image of God. Please come to Church of God World Mission Society and learn more about Father and Mother, God bless you!
