On Sunday morning, we looked at the famous image of God passage at the end of Genesis 1. God made so many good things in his perfect world, but people are special to God. We are the image and likeness of God, those called to rule the world under Him. This is a privileged position and a great responsibility. This special status comes with a task: to fill the earth and subdue it. All of us are called to contribute to the development of God's world. We have not done this well, and we need Jesus the perfect image of God to save us, but we are still called to honour the one who made us. These ideas have many different implications. All people are special to God, even if they reject God, even if they feel confused or depressed about themselves. Our worth is not in what we contribute but in who we are. If this is true, consider how you treat those whom you come into contact with this week. All of them matter to God. All of them need God. Christians should be those who treat everyone well and who advocate for those who need our help. It is an incredible blessing to be one of God's image bearers.
