MERRY CHRISTMAS BREAD HEADS!

Have a Showbread filled day! (or not... it's up to you.)

The Art of Worship

Take a moment to ponder the word “Christian”. If you pull it apart into two separate pieces, you get “Christ” and “-ian”. We know Jesus Christ to the savior of men, but the following half is more ambiguous. It tends to mean “-like” in almost every instance it is used. So, putting the pieces back together, we have “Christ-like” as an alternate interpretation of the phrase.

Now consider the idea of Jesus and God as one being, torn apart by incarnation. At this point, the word “Christian” can be effectively viewed as “God-like”. As of Year One (Not really, I’m just playing… It was way before that.), creation went down like this:

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, blah blah blah…” Genesis 1:1-2a (NIV)

God was a creator. In fact, he was The Creator. However, he blessed us with the ability to mimic that characteristic in a way.

“Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents.” Ephesians 5:1 (Message)

Every time we take something from within us and turn it into a piece of art (no matter what it may be), we become creators with God.

Show God you want to be more like him. Make the world a better place. Let art become a part of your everyday routine. He appreciates it.

Not to mention it’s pretty flippin’ rad.
