Two: Different Than When You Last Looked

God had a purpose for creating two genders. Part of that is to bring Himself glory through the manifold display of His nature through the image mankind bears either uniquely as a man or uniquely as a woman. Just as having five senses enables us to experience the world multidimensionaly, the different genders also highlight the different revelations of God. God often gives us pictures in Scripture to teach us what He is like: He is king, judge, potter, shepherd, father, and husband. Each image draws out a different viewpoint of God’s character and He seems different than when we last looked.

It is like experiencing a mountain view over four seasons. In the summer, the wildlife runs over hills and gathers around swift rivers and in meadows. Fall sets the landscape on fire with color; the birds fly away overhead and are gone. Winter strips the trees bare so I can see farther from the same throne-stump than before. Springtime is rebirth set to nature’s soundtrack; it brings in its’ own favorite colors. Each season has its smell and feel, and discoveries.

The universe, has not one dimension but three, the globe has four seasons, the human: five senses. The sky has two great lights: one to illumine the earth and the clouds, and the other to quiet the earth and unmask the stars.

So humanity has two genders.
