A corona is an aura of plasma that surrounds the Sun. It’s the outermost part of the Sun's atmosphere that reaches out into the abyss of space around it, and it actually goes 5 million miles out from the sun in every direction. During a solar eclipse, you can perfectly see the corona.
A solar eclipse is what happens when the sun, earth, and moon all line up perfectly, the sun passes directly behind our moon, and the moon covers the sun.
Image of the Invisible by Thrice:
“We're more than carbon and chemicals
We are the image of the invisible
Free will is ours and we can't let go
We are the image of the invisible
We're more than static and dial tone
We are the image of the invisible
We're emblematic of the unknown
We are the image of the invisible”
We are broken and distorted images of the invisible. So, just like we talked about how we need a perfect King, we are in need of a perfect image of the invisible God.
Colossians 1:15-20
15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
Jesus coming on Christmas, was God’s way of showing you part of his character that you couldn’t see before. He came to reconcile you to himself by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.
