Humanity Sunday – September 13
Genesis 1:27a
“God created humanity in God’s own image…”
Creation of humans should not be seen as separate fromother elements of creation. Rather, God created human beings as a part of an overall plan that included stars and rivers, animals and trees, nighttime and day, as well as people.
We are intrinsically part of God’s world. And we are called
to have “dominion” over creation. Dominion, though, does
not mean we are rulers – rather, it means we are called to be
God-like. As God cares for even the minute details, so are
we called to care for each thing, large and small.
■■ How have you lived your life – as a ruler of creation, or a
compassionate servant?
