We seem to be continuing with the theme of creation. The John passage reminds me that Jesus was actively involved in the creation of all that is. Perhaps this is part of the reason that God says, "Let us make humans in our image...after our likeness."
The fact that I am a created being really does make a difference in every aspect of my existence. It's a very humbling thing to be created...like a recipe from the Food Network. I'm nothing more than a reflection of God's creativity. I get no credit for who I am or what I can do.
But then there's that "in the image of God" thing. I may be just a creation but I'm a pretty special creation. In fact Psalm 8 says: "You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor." So...not only does the fact that I'm created humble me...it also gives life meaning and purpose. I didn't just happen because of some 1 in 1 quadrillion chance alignment of the right chemicals and conditions...I was made by Someone. That Someone wants me here.
It's a pretty amazing thing when you think about it.
