Express Image... not the real, but the image.The resurrected Jesus is the express image of the person of the Father.
Hebrews 1:1-3
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
In this verse we learn that Jesus is the very express image of the Father. For this reason Jesus told Philip the following as Cougarbear has told you:
John 14:9
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
Jesus not only looks exactly like the Father but he also has a resurrected body of flesh and bones just as the Father has. He is truly the express image of the Father's person. Jesus then sat down beside the person of the Father (who is the Majesty on high) on his right hand side of his body.
Jesus even backs that up by saying I can do nothing of my own I do only what the Father tells me to do.
