This week, we have been thinking about who we are as human beings, created in the image of God the Creator. Today, we return to where we started and consider how we display the image and likeness of God in our design.

Psalm 139:13–14
For you [LORD] formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
Today we return to one of the “tools” that we discussed earlier – the circles that represent our Divine Design as human beings. Having a visual way to think about who we are – both physically and spiritually – well help us illustrate some key ideas that we will be discussing in the coming weeks.

Today we begin the readings from our workbook Enlightened by the Gospel. In this section, we are going to be exploring the question, “Why is the Message about Jesus Good News?” In order to answer this question we need to go back to the beginning. We need to know what the Lord God created us – humanity – in the first place. As we will hear, the One True God designed us—humanity—to be His image and likeness in His Creation. We were designed and created to hold a unique and significant place in Father-God’s plans and purposes.

Our lives have a Beginning, a Middle and an End—all the essential parts of story. We are moving; we are going somewhere. We each have a Life-Story. As we know by now, all things were created by Jesus Christ, are being sustained by Him and will find their end in Him. You are part of His Story. You do not get to choose whether you will play a role or not; you are already in the story. The only choice that you have to make is how you will use the time that is given to you.

Psalms 139:16
Your eyes saw me when I was formless;
all my days were written in Your book and planned
before a single one of them began.
We need some perspective on our lives. We need to have a good grasp on who we are and where we have come from in each of our unique life-stories. There are many things in life that we have no control over: the fact that we were born, how long we will live, etc. However, we are given the great responsibility of how we will respond to what is given to us in life and what we will do with the time that is given to us.
