Repentance, redemption, and renewal have been on my mind a lot this summer in a very holistic and communal sense. Today, Scot McKnight at Jesus Creed wrote about who’s groaning in Paul’s letter to the church at Rome.

He settles upon Creation, the Church, and the Spirit. Creation yearns for the redemption of the “Eikons” (we call it the “Imago Dei” / “Image of God” in these parts), while the Church and the Spirit long for liberation.

From McKnight in Embracing Grace:

“The gospel is the work of the triune, interpersonal God to restore cracked Eikons to union with God and communion with others.â€?

Check out his post, and follow this series. Look for more from me on the image of God shortly.
