One: Lent Devotional

DAY 3 OF 10

In the image

This is a verse many of us know so well that sometimes we forget to stop in awe at its power, beauty, and meaning. We are made in the image of the very same God who flung stars into space, brought meaning from chaos, and called destiny into humanity.

Pause, and breathe it in. The image of our Lord is woven deeply into the fabric of humanity.

Wrapped up in this short verse is the call to our identity as image-bearers of the King. And the calling to actively look for the image of our King in others.

This is a world-changing truth. How different things would be if we saw past the headlines into the image of God? The climate crisis, modern-day slavery, environmental destruction... I dare to believe that if we, humanity, truly lived out this verse – poverty would be over. Injustice would have no place in our world.

So today, let’s proactively look and find the image of God in ourselves and others.

Prayer:

Creator God, we pause in awe. Thank you that we are woven in your image. Help us, Lord to see this in ourselves, and in others, every day. Might we live differently in light of this truth. Amen.

About this Plan

One: Lent Devotional

When we look around at the world today, we can see an awful lot of division and disconnection. Yet there is hope. A deep and thrilling hope. When we realize that we are one in Christ, everything changes. When we embrace togetherness – unity with creation, with each other, and with God – extraordinary things can happen. As you read this devotional, we pray you have a blessed Lent.
