Christ: The Image of God

Paul explains that he, and his coworkers, do not fall back to cowardice or lack in boldness. This is in large part due to the nature of the One whom they preach. He gives an example, and exhortation to, clear, unequivocal, and up front preaching of Christ in all contexts. This is because of the nature of the Christ who is preached. He is the image of God, and God revealed to us Himself in Jesus Christ. We too, must clearly reveal Christ.
