Behind the simple narrative of creation that has caused many religions to develop superstitious and confusing ideas, stands the incredible revelation that is hard to even believe — HUMANS ARE CREATED TO BE LIKE GOD. We read the creation story to be about how physical creation occurred, but somehow it just doesn't seem to answer all our questions. We look at numbers, names, places, and dimensions to be clues to understanding why God created us. Maybe we could begin to see the intention of the Lord at creation still stands. He has never changed His mind. The purpose for humans is still about likeness and image…RIGHT NOW!
A few years ago, I drove my son's bright-red IROC sports car alone from California to Atlanta. One day, as I sped through a desert, I looked out at a rainbow that filled the sky and bright sunrays streaked across the windshield. Then, vom! A second rainbow appeared underneath. The colors were more vibrant than I had ever seen before. Suddenly, the road turned right and a gigantic canyon appeared on my left – and the rainbows stretched down and down into the deepness of the cavern below. I was struck with the perfect picture of our lives – and how there is sooooo much more than we have dared to imagine.
