The officials note that it is cfucult to

The birth of a human being is
one of the most common, yet at
the same time most miraculous
and mj sterious processes of God’s
creation. The more that science
learns about it, the more we
stand in awe at this evidence of
Gods creative
masterpiece.

twenty degrees lower; from a
totally dark environment to
one of blinding light; from a
complete dependence for oxy
gen and blood upon the mother
to the sudden, unpracticed use
of its own lungs and heart for
that purpose.
No wonder man is called God’s
greatest creation!
In His own image
Yet, fantastically wonderful as
is the physical creation of man,
he is looked upon as the crown
of God’s creation for , Still a
greater reason: what he is rathet
how ho is made. 'The writer
of Genesis says it one way; “So

image .. (Genesis 1:27). The
writer of Hebrews, quoting the
psalmist, says it another: “Thou
didst make him a little lower
than the angels” (Hebrews 2:7>.
Both of these men are making
approximately the same affirma
tion: there is a likeness, kinship,
or similarity between the per
sonality of man and the basic
personal nature of God.
This does not mean that matt
is the same as God or equal to
him in any way. it does mean,
however, that man in his very
essence—or that which makes
him man—bears in an incomplete
and finite w ay the characteristics
which we find in a complete anil
infinite way in God. As Reuel
Howe has put it, “Blurred and
distorted though the image of
God in man is, still the mark of
the hand of the Divine Craftsman
is on him.”
Everything in subjection
We may ‘see’’ God in nature,
“hear” him m tne sounds of the
earth, and fnd his footprints”
an a hunched thousand different
places, but in man we get the
most accurate picture of all. In
one man—Jesus Christ—the pic
ture was not e\ en charred or dis
torted.
There is another reason why
we call man Go u s greatest crea
tion Not cub is man exalted in
what he is created to be, but also
in what he is created to do Man
is created to pat “everything in
subjection under his feet.” He is
intended to rule over the rest of
creation for the Creator.
There are then two facts that
we must note about the nature
and purpose of man. First, there
is man’s pnveleged position in
regard to the rest of creation.
No other creature has been so
blessed as man. What a privilege
to be created with a kinship to
God and a mandate to rule
God’s creation for him.
There is a second fact, fop
•with the privelege there is also
a responsibility too. Man is
blessed by God so that he may
be a blessing. He is given pow
ers, advantages, and endow
ments so that he may fulfill
God's plan and purpose. He Is
therefore the creature with the
highest privileges and also the
highest responsibilities. That's
why he’s called the “crown o£
God’s creation.” That’s what msm
is. I
