Drawing An Image

What does a cave painting from thousands of years ago have in common with the most expensive paintings in art galleries today?

It is the ability to see and create an image of something that is distinct and separate from the object being painted. You may believe this is obvious, but as author Anthony Kronman states:

“...so far as we can tell, this peculiar way of seeing is the power that resides in human eyes alone.”

This is another way humanity is different from the rest of the created order. God created us with the ability to think, create and build a spiritual life.

Humanity is not just a slightly more evolved part of the ecosystem; humans are completely different because we are created in God’s image (Genesis 1:17).
