OVERVIEW OF THE WEEK’S THEME
God is the creator of beauty. He created everything beautiful we see in the world. Whenever we see beauty it should remind us of God the Creator. He created out of nothing not only the objects that exist but even the materials out of which they are made. Creation in all its forms and expressions are God’s work of Art. Psalm 8:3 describes the creation of the heavens as “the work of thy fingers”. Since God has created us and made us to reflect Him (Genesis 1:26-27), we are also capable of aesthetic creation, reflection, self-evaluation, and visual communication.
The garments of the priesthood were made for glory and for beauty. We too need to choose garments that express glory and beauty.
