The word, God's word, is a worthy provider of good news for all to follow. (John 6:60-69) Yet all around us there are the followers of beauty that will not last beyond tomorrow. Last post was about the image that we were created to reflect the image of our creator. Look behind the words in the image above. What do you see? Rock? A stone cliff? An impenetrable barrier? Even this will last longer than the beauty many hold up as holy and good. The problem is not even this rock wall will last as long as what God has created in His image, His Spirit within us. God breathed life into us when He created us. (Genesis 2:7) Yes this was how Adam was created but we are from Adam, a creation of God, therefore the breath of life was not from earthly mother and father but from He who made us. That breath created our very spirit, the life which is within. It is Holy because it is created by the very breath of God who is life eternal. The part of us that reflects the God of our creation is the Holy Spirit that dwells within us. The outer shell we see is but a dwelling place, a temple. Whether perfect, weathered, worn, imperfect or incomplete it is the place where the image of God resides to be our guide and to keep us safe until we are called home. When that day comes our spirit will be given a new body/home that is perfect. Remember that we were to be like God by serving as good stewards of the earth and its animals. Jesus was the perfect image and was one with the Father and Holy Spirit.
