In this sermon From Vegetation To An Image Of God, God originally made man in His likeness. But mankind fell from that place, and Jesus had to later come to earth in our likeness. The likeness of sinful flesh. He became like us, so we could once again become like Him.

In a world where there is only darkness at first, God's Spirit moves in on the scene and on the earth's FACE He shines light. This is precisely how salvation occurs.
