We are back to the beginning this week, reading Genesis 1:1-2:4-the very first Bible story, the story of creation in 7 days. But come on. Isn’t it really 6 days? In 6 days, God shows us a way of creating in “yes AND” mode–constantly making space for what is breathtakingly new without destroying or diluting what was there. A mode of creation that is exponential-where creatures themselves are meant to create, and life begets life, and every single life supports another. What does it mean for us to be made in the image of THIS kind of God? And seriously, with all the work there is to do in the world, how can rest be so important to creation that we count the 7th day in with the others?
