The Universe began when God the Creator of everything said, “Let there be light.” As the wonder of the world came to life with all its intricate beauty, the most miraculous moment had yet to become reality.

In this must-see clip, Jen Ledger of Skillet explains the glory at work in God’s hands as Sculptor. “I love how God is described as a sculptor, a Creator, He wants us to see how glorious He is but also just how creative He is.”

As remarkable as the Universe is, the thing that should bring us the most amazement and wonder, is the idea that God has made us in His image.

The Biblical text uses three Hebrew words for God bringing into existence human beings. He made us. He created us. And then the author of Genesis uses the word Yawtsar in the Hebrew which is a combination of make and create, making the point that the physical bodies that we have have are not brand new. Other animals have physical bodies but there’s something about us that is brand new that never existed before.

The word Yawtsar literally means, ‘through the squeezing into shape, to mold into a form, especially as a Potter.’ The author is describing how God - the Father of Adam - formed His son and shaped his being by kneading him together with raw materials, literally the dust of the Earth, as a potter or a sculptor works with clay.

Yahweh was Adam’s actual father as we see in the genealogy from Luke 3. “The son of Seth, the son of Adam, the Son of God.”

God gives him the name Adam which sounds like the Hebrew word Adamah meaning dirt. Inside His garden studio, Yahweh is found at the height of creative expression, sculpting his Masterpiece.

“Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living being.”

God created Adam in such an intimate and personal way to show us that He has made each of us in an intimate and personal way. He’s knit us together in our mother’s womb and he knows us intimately. He longs for friendship and relationship with us, as a Father to a son.
