Once after I had taken a Camry for a test drive, the Toyota salesman suggested that I go over to the Lexus dealership next and check out a new Lexus.
At first I was surprised, but then I remembered that the same company makes both the Lexus and the Camry. They share similarities in design, mechanics and craftsmanship. I think he knew I wasn’t in the price range of a Lexus, but by comparing the two, I would be able to see the Lexus in the Camry. He was right and I eventually bought the Camry. It was a great car – sort of like a Lexus.
Similarly, every one of us is like God. We are crafted to be like him. We may be imperfect models, but you can still see the image of God in us. We are of infinite value because we bear his image.
