| "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." Genesis 1:27 When a Roman penny was made, the image, or likeness of Caesar the emperor was stamped upon it, and those who used it were reckoned as his subjects and expected to obey his laws. Ages ago, God Himself made something and stamped His likeness upon it, as a sign that it belonged to Him, and must be used in His service. It was not a coin God made. It was a man. And God's image has been stamped upon each of us to show that we were made; not to follow our own pleasure, but to serve Him! "And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly" (1Corinthians 15:49). May God Bless you as you serve Him today! <J><E><S><U><S>< <S><A><V><E><S>< |
