“And [Love] said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…” Genesis 1:26 paraphrase mine.
Now here is where it gets good. If you haven’t been following our love experiment from the beginning, please go back and get it. Otherwise you’ve landed right in the middle! Get ready…
It makes perfect sense for Love, not just God, to say “Let us…” Love implies a plurality, more than just one. It suggests that there is a divine “Us,” each with distinct functions and actions, and yet only one apparently shared image and likeness, so much that a single creature could accurately resemble the diversified, unified, creative “Us.” And true to form, all living humans have a body, mind, and spirit that are different from each other, yet work together to create life. This is Love, human style. Love made you out of Themselves to show Love in yourself.
But Love didn’t stop at one. Love made two humans! Love, the Divine Us, made two different humans, each resembling Love individually and differently from each other, and also resembling Love together, and able to make more.
I’m done. Mind blown. Going home. See you tomorrow.
Love… I’m speechless again.
