In Who's Image?

January 16

Genesis says God created man in His image. My wife Joy asks, “Do we see God in our image rather than seeing ourselves in His image?"

I'm sure my perspective is seeing God in my image. That means God has feelings, emotions, thoughts and memories. OK so far. However, holding God in my image would also mean God has limits, warts, and is mortal. That's not good. That is not God.

So how do we see ourselves created in His image? It begins with belief!

Isaiah. knew in whose image he was created.
"Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint."
(Isaiah 40:31)
