Advent 2024: Monday, December 2
December 5, 2024
“Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth’” (Gen 1:26).
This passage makes me think about how fish in the sea, and birds of the sky and many creeping things have much in common with us ‘humans.’ Fish, Birds and many creeping things actually have two births. First birth when the egg is laid from their mother and second when they hatch from their egg.
Christians too also have two births, one from our mother and again when we accept Jesus in our heart and become ‘Born again’. During this season of Advent let’s remember, honor, and anticipate the birth of Jesus while taking a few moments to cherish your own rebirth and pray for those still in-waiting to be re-born and turn to Christ. What a special connection God granted us with these creatures.
