Imago Dei - the real core
Tuesday, 5th week in Ordinary time
Gen 1:20 -2:4a; Mk 7: 1-13
Jesus had one thing that he could never bear or tolerate! Living two lives... how much ever good you may do, it does not matter as much as being good. Because Jesus is mindful of the real core of our being: Imago Dei, the image of God that is placed within us. God saw everything was good as God created them one by one. But when God had created human being, God found it very good. Because God saw Godself in the human person. The inner core of our being is that godliness that we can observe in God. When we refuse to see it or reject what is at the core, we become aliens to ourselves. This is what Jesus is warning us against. Get closer and closer to the real core of your being: the image of God.
