Reflections On The Olympics Opening Ceremony – Lachlan Dunjey

Yes, it was all there – the creativity, love, community spirit, the inspiration of song and music, international cooperation, national spirit recovering from tragedy, engineering, ingenuity, seemingly faultless programming and coordination, the emphasis on fair play and sportsmanship, the honour and excitement and sheer joy of being there in a spirit of freedom, the honour of being human.

Yes, it is a great honour and privilege to be human.

We share that honour with the Son of God who came in our likeness.

And yes, it means all peoples and races and tribes and tongues. And yes, it means in all states of disability and dependency.

And yes, it means from the beginning of life to its natural conclusion. And yes, it means that a new-born baby is worth more than a pig.

And yes, it means that a babe in the womb also has that Image even though we cannot yet see its evidences.

To be created in God’s Image with all that means, to share that with others, to see it in others – even just a little peek – is such a privilege and joy.

And as we get excited by the Olympic spirit let us also get excited by the display of what it means to be human as evidenced by that spirit and what it means to be created in the Imago Dei.

And yes, let us get excited and motivated defending what it means to be human in the alienated and our most vulnerable, for all at risk, and renew our efforts for the unborn, for life itself.
