God created us in His image, so that we may represent Him in the world.
It began with the Israelites.
They were God's chosen people, but that did not mean what they thought it meant.
God chose them to be a light to the nations.
That is what we see in the complaint from Jonah to God.
Jonah knew that God wanted the people to repent.
Jonah knew that God wanted to use him to save the Ninevites.
But he was unwilling because he did not see them the way God saw them.
He did not understand that he was the image bearer of God.
In fact, the Israelites failed at the job so miserably that God gives the Job to King Cyrus, an outsider.
Listen to the words of God to Cyrus:
But through Isaiah also comes a promise of one to come, the suffering servant who will save the world.
In fact, Simeon interprets the words of Isaiah to Mary at the Temple to be about Jesus.
So, Jesus comes to be God in flesh.
To show us once again that we are to be the image bearers of Christ.
Paul tells us we are God's image bearers in thee ways in 2 Corinthians passages:
The more we dwell in Christ the more we represent Him.
God's light shines in our hearts!
Why?
So that we may be the image bearers of God to the world.
One way that we truly can show our love for God is to be His image bearers.
