New life together

Ok, so I was going to blog about starting Fuller Seminary but I went to a wedding of some good friends of mine. It was a great wedding and reception. Seeing two people and really two families, who love the Lord, come together in this way is truly amazing. I'm in awe of witnessing a moment like this one.
In my blogs I have always wanted to stay with the theme of learning to be truly human. Being truly human means being a person who truly reflects God's image. People were always meant to reflect God's image but some where along the way they started to dehumanize themselves. But Thank God for send his son and our Messiah, Jesus our Lord! He was the one who became the human that we were unable to be. Now what is true of him is true of us. We too can be truly human. Jesus promised new life in this age and the age to come. What I love about living in this unique time is that we receive glimpses of God's restored humanity and creation. They are sign posts pointing to the age to come, when heaven and earth become interlocked and God makes all things new. Marriage is just that a glimpse and a sign post pointing to God's restored humanity. It points to new life, which is beginning to be realized now! I wittnessed new life today! Two humans becoming one and now on a journey together to learn what it means to be truly human.
Thanks for reading,
