Devotion

I wonder sometimes if we forget within our own tradition that we are made in the image of God. Yet it says so in Genesis. We have been created in God's likeness—male and female. I think that changes how we look at living a life of humility, sacrifice and obedience. It's not simply what "good little Christians do," but rather, such a life is what it means to live as one made in God's likeness and image. Such a life is to live as one in mind with Christ Jesus. Such a life confesses and points to what God is like and where God is present to all those around us. In a world where the number of people who don't know God is increasing, it is this likeness and image we have been created in—one fashioned in humility, sacrifice and obedience—that confesses and shares Christ.
