So, let us make man as our image is really an expression of what God means to do through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Remember how in Genesis 2, 7, God breathes life into man.

God gives man ruach.

God, as it were, by His Spirit, brings man into being.

Now, why does He do that?

Because He not only wants the whole of creation.

to proclaim His glory.

He wants man himself to be a kind of worship leader in that temple, to lead the whole creation in praise and adoration to God.

And then when you fast forward to the days of the Exodus, you remember how among the very first references in the Old Testament to the work of the Spirit, the ways in which the Spirit of God enables men to make the tabernacle beautiful.

And God gives His Spirit to certain individuals, and they create within their limited resources wandering through the wilderness.

this thing of beauty in the middle of a desert.

And God gives His Spirit in order that they might have a place in which they can approach Him and meet with Him.

And then, of course, in a marvelous way, this takes place in the Lord Jesus, doesn't it?

the Spirit comes and in the womb of the Virgin Mary forms the humanity of the Lord Jesus, and the Lord Jesus becomes the temple of God in whom we can meet with God.

And then the Holy Spirit comes to us, as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6, 6, 19 to 20, the Holy Spirit dwells in individual believers.

Don't you know that you are a temple of the Holy Spirit?

And then the Holy Spirit dwells in the whole church.

And then the Holy Spirit dwells, as we're told at the end of the book of Revelation, in the new world and makes all things new.

So this is why the Holy Spirit is given to us, to bring fullness into our emptiness, order into our chaos, to bring us to the place where we worship and glorify the Lord.
