Whose image are you made in?
“God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” -Genesis 1:27
I’ve
seen a lot of people lately making themselves in Peyton
Manning and Reggie
Bush’s images - or at least
wearing their jerseys. There are also a bunch of people making
themselves in the image of a “Tea
Party,” aside from those
making themselves into the image of President
Obama or Rush
Limbaugh. One of the guys at work chafes
every day that he must make himself into the image of an office
professional and wear khakis and a shirt, rather than being the image of
Mark Martin, his
favorite NASCAR driver. Personally, I just put on my boots and belt
buckle and make myself into the image of a cowboy.
1 John 2:6 says that we should do as Jesus did - basically be His image. Luke 6:40 tells us that when we’re fully trained, we’ll be there. My question is do I really have that as my goal? Whose image am I making myself in?
