Made in God's Image

During the message at church today, which was all about man being made in God's image, Paul shared an illustration to make a point. This was to help us see that if we can understand how man is made in God's image, it would affect how we treat ourselves, and others.



Paul explained that a professor in seminary school used this in a lesson once. Imagine a button on the wall in front of you. When the button is pressed, a criminal/murderer dies instantaneously. This criminal is guilty beyond all reasonable doubt. You can't see him, he can't see you. You don't know him, he doesn't know you. All you know is that he is guilty. Would you press the button? The professor then asked, would Jesus press the button?
