Listen

And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are on the road to destruction. The god of this age has blinded the minds of those who don’t have faith so they couldn’t see the light of the gospel that reveals Christ’s glory. Christ is the image of God.

2 Corinthians 4:3-4

Think

Are there times when you are uncertain about what the Bible is saying or how it is relevant to your life? Ultimately as Christians it is part of our task to make meaning of the word of God in our lives and how we relate to one another. One might say that it’s a life’s work. We do not get to see the complete picture very often. And who knows if we would believe it if we did?

Paul writes to the Corinthians that Jesus is the image of God. We, too, are made in the image of God, but we are not God. Think of it as a reflection, and see how you are reflecting the image and the word of God in the world around you. How are you trying to see more of God and less of you in the world?

Pray

You are God, and I am not. Thank you for allowing me to reflect your likeness in the world every day. Help me to be more like you. Amen.

Go

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God — what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Romans 12:2 (NRSV)
