In the Star Wars movie “The Empire Strikes Back” there is the renowned scene where the main character and protagonist, Luke Skywalker, is fighting Darth Vader, the antagonist, in a life and death lightsaber battle. Luke passionately accuses Darth Vader of killing his father when Vader responds with those famous words “No, I am your father!” In a moment of time Luke’s world is turned upside down because he has discovered that the origin of his life was from the most evil person he knew. That moment is the climax in the Star Wars saga because discovering who he really was provided the foundation for Luke to reach his ultimate fulfillment. The same is true for us as human beings. What we believe about our origins will have a profound effect on what our purpose for living is, how we view ourselves and relate to others. Genesis 1 records that our origins are from God and we are created in His image. But what does it mean to be created in His image? Join us this Sunday as we unpack Genesis 1 and how our design points to the designer.
