To become like Him, we need to come close to Him ~KE

Wednesday Word
She picked up her current Bible study and read the first question: “Why do you think
God made us in His image?” “That’s a great question,” she muttered aloud.

Thanks for joining us for Wednesday’s Word with Kim-Evinda and Trench Classes
United. Our prayer is that you will come to appreciate the significance of being “made in
His image.”

When asked if you know someone, and you don’t really remember if you do, usually we
ask what they look like, right? Or when a guy or girl are going to meet a possible candidate for a date for the first time at the insistence of a “caring” friend who wants to set them up, usually the first question out of their mouth is, “What do they look like?”

Have you ever wondered what Jesus looks like? We know Hollywood paints him as a
guy with close-to-shoulder-length brownish hair, a beard to match, prominent cheek
bones, beautiful gently piercing eyes and an incredible smile. But it doesn’t matter what
He looks like; it’s His image we’re after. “When You said, ‘Seek My face,’ my heart said
to You, Your face, Lord, I will seek.” Psalm 27:8


But let’s talk about the word “image” for a moment. Image has its roots in the
Latin word meaning "to copy or imitate.” Another definition from the Catechism
of the Catholic Church states that image is the “likeness of the Creator. ... Hence
it means the capacity for relationship; it is the human capacity for God."

As I read these explanations, it was as if a light bulb went off…it’s not His appearance
we’re seeking, but His character which is found in His presence. The more we seek
Him, the closer we will get to His intended image for us. He created us in His image
possible only through relationship: He desires to have relationship with each of us.

Abba, teach me how to seek Your face as I strive to turn off the distractions that often
interfere with my vision of your presence so I may reflect Your character.

​Love,
Kim-Evinda
