Sunday's Hymn: Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise

Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, thy great Name we praise.

Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above
Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.

Great Father of Glory, pure Father of Light,
Thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;
All praise we would render; O help us to see
‘Tis only the splendor of light hideth thee!

—Walter C. Smith

Image Bearing

I posted at Out of the Ordinary this morning on what it means to be made in God’s image.

The bottom line is that human beings were created with qualities that reflect God. We are copies of our maker in ways that the rest of God’s creatures aren’t. At the climax of creation, God set apart his next creative act with these words, “Let us make man in our image,” and he did exactly that. Male and female—all humankind—were created as image-bearers, and that gives us status and value above all the other creatures.
