Genesis 1:1-3
In the beginning God created the heavens
and the earth. Now the earth was formless
and empty, darkness was over the surface
of the deep, and the Spirit of God was
hovering over the waters. And God said,
‘Let there be light,’ and there was light. …

Genesis 1:26-27
… Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our
image, in our likeness, and let them rule
over the fish of the sea and the birds of the
air, over the livestock, over all the earth,
and over all the creatures that move along
the ground.’ So God created man in his
own image, in the image of God he created
him; male and female he created them.

Genesis 1:28-29
God blessed them and said to them, ‘Be
fruitful and increase in number; fill the
earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of
the sea and the birds of the air and over
every living creature that moves on the
ground.’ Then God said, ‘I give you every
seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole
earth and every tree that has fruit with
seed in it. They will be yours for food.

Genesis 1:30-31
And to all the beasts of the earth and all
the birds of the air and all the creatures
that move on the ground—everything that
has the breath of life in it—I give every
green plant for food.’ And it was so. God
saw all that he had made, and it was very
good. And there was evening, and there
was morning—the sixth day.

Genesis 2:1-3
Thus the heavens and the earth were
completed in their vast array. By the
seventh day God had finished the work he
had been doing; so on the seventh day he
rested from all his work. And God blessed
the seventh day and made it holy, because
on it he rested from all the work of creating
that he had done. …

Genesis 2:15-17
… The Lord God took the man and put him
in the Garden of Eden to work it and take
care of it. And the Lord God commanded
the man, ‘You are free to eat from any tree
in the garden; but you must not eat from
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
for when you eat of it you will surely die.’

The goal was to find Waldo in
the MIDST of the details
rather than LOSING him; our
goal is where’s JESUS?

There are pages where Jesus is easier to find
than others, but HIDDEN does not mean
ABSENT, nor unworthy of pursuit.

Even in creation we get GLIMPSES of the
new creation, as rather than an end
scripture ENDS with a NEW BEGINNING.

The TRIUNE God doesn’t fit
nicely into our boxes.

Jesus is hidden in the details of ‘AND GOD
SAID’

In creation we see a PREVIEW of the new
creation to come.

In Adam is a precursor
to the offices of
PROPHET, PRIEST, and
KING.

As we respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ,
we become a NEW creation, a PRIESTHOOD
of believers, being progressively transformed
into His IMAGE, so that we may one day
REIGN with him.
