We have heard and we know that God made man in the image of God. But, did you know that God made God in the image of man?
Nara-hari means ‘man-God‘ in Sanskrit. I was introduced to this title for Jesus Christ by the Aradhna music group that have a wonderful ministry of reaching many with the love of Jesus, through their unique songs and singing style. In fact, the title Nara-hari (‘man-God’) can be conferred on no one else, except Jesus Christ.
Genesis 9:6 accounts for the inexplicable love of God – God made man in God’s own image.
Philippians 2:7 accounts for the insurmountable love of God – God made God in the image (likeness) of man.
Think about this – The Son of God (Jesus) became the Son of Man so that the sons/daughters of men can become the sons/daughter of God.
O, behold, what manner of LOVE, God, the Father has bestowed upon us, that he should GIVE his only begotten son, the ONLY NARA-HARI, so that we can be called the CHILDREN of God. (1 John 3:1)
Genesis 9:6 (KJV)
6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
Philippians 2:5-11 (KJV)
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
