“So God created man in his own image…”

These are the two stories in the Bible of God’s creation of human beings.  Both are so insightful.  I love them both for different reasons.  The first tells us we are created in the image of God.  We would later find out, in John’s first letter, that image is love.  The second tells us that we come alive when given the breath (spirit) of God.  It is the spirit of God that makes us living beings.  These verses ingeniously show us the paradox of being human.  As Jesus said, it is the last that will be first and the first last and it is the one who is willing to lose his life who will find it.  Whenever we live counter to God’s life-giving love, we are, as my mother used to say, “...cutting off our nose to spite our face.”

“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth.  Tell me, if you have understanding.”

Sometimes to feel God’s presence and love, we have to see ourselves as greater than we than we feel.  Sometimes, like Job, we must realize our smallness.

Matthew 25:31-46

“Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.”

Loving God and loving neighbor, the greatest commandments according to Jesus, are one and the same.  In the loving responses we witnessed to the tragedies of 9/11, we saw the presence of the Lord.

Luke 10:25-37

“Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?”

The songs says, “They will know we are Christians by our love.” It was the love expressed in the actions of the Samaritan that caused Jesus to highlight him as “neighbor.” It would be good for us to remember Jesus’ words of instruction, “Go and do likewise.”

Luke 15:11-32

“…while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him.”

The unwarranted and unconditional love of God... may you feel the loving arms of the Lord around you now.
