Waves and Rocks

Gene
Genesis 1:27 ESV
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

Introduction

The Beauty of Male and Femaleness

I’m writing from a hotel next to the Pacific Ocean. The view is spectacular, and I can’t stop looking at (and listening to) the dynamic coastline, where the liquid vast blue sea meets the solid vast brownish land. The intersection is vivid white, an always changing line of waves breaking unpredictably against the steady shoreline.
There are crowds on the beach, swimming and surfing and simply watching the waves. Cheerful shouts of families fill the salty air. This scene happens on almost every coast, every day, around the world. Why?

“The coast is beautiful” is something existentially true and intuitively felt among humans. We’re drawn to places where land meets sea, where water meets rock; two very different things coming together to produce an aesthetic pleasure and a life-giving good.

We were created uniquely in the image of God, to compliment one another
Genesis 1:27 ESV
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Equals, but Different
Genesis 2:24 ESV
Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
Galatians 3:27 ESV
For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Galatians 3:27–29 ESV
For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.
We were never meant to be the same
Galatians 3:26 ESV
for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.
Genesis 1:26–27 ESV
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Natural Differences between Male and Female
Equals, but different
Galatians 3:27–29 ESV
For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.
