A Stunning Creation

Devotion by Max Lucado | The Almighty Jehovah | httpsthealmightyJehovahcom

A Stunning Creation

“Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground” (Genesis 2:7). Out of the soil of the garden, God shaped Adam’s torso. He rounded the head and formed a nose. The same hand that flung stars in the heavens and scooped the floor for the ocean sculpted the first person.

Then, “He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person” (Genesis 2:7). God exhaled. And Adam inhaled. And Adam had life. But he had more than oxygen in him. He had God’s breath in him. What a sterling, stunning creation he must have been. Unsullied by greed. Uncorrupted by hate. Untainted by guilt. Unacquainted with fear.

That is how we were intended to be. And that is how we will be, when Christ comes again.
