GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE


12 February 2019


‘GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE.’ (Genesis 1:20 -2:4)


There it is stated emphatically at the outset of the Bible: God’s great project was to make human beings who would be like him in every possible way.  And the earth and the universe were all made for them.  If they made the right decisions they would experience intense joy and fulfilment, so deep they cannot be described.  But there was huge risk.  They might make wrong decisions and mess up the whole project.  Well, we know what they (we) did and we live day by day caught in this battle of our own making, struggling to get it right. Meanwhile millions suffer and our common home is under threat of burning up.
