Every single person is a theophany. May we all see God’s image in each and every person God puts in our path, and welcome them as we would welcome God.
Genesis 1.27 So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
Matthew 5.14-16 You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid… Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
Luke 9.48 Jesus said to them, “Whoever welcomes this child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me; for the least among all of you is the greatest.”
The glory of God is humanity fully alive, and human life is the vision of God. (Saint Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies 4.20.7)
You are a theophany, made to shine the Light of Christ to others. So… shine!
