"For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago." Ephesians 2:10
An artist takes time and pride in their work. Their completed piece is a work of art, a masterpiece. Every piece of art we view had a beginning. It was a blank slate.
We are similar. Christ is the artist and we are the work of art. We started from nothing. Yet through Christ were transformed into a beautiful masterpiece, one that He is pleased with and loves.
The amazing thing about Christ's art is the way He signs it. It's always in red and it's very distinct. You can tell which pieces (people) are Christ's workmanship because they all have the same type of covering-His blood.
You and I brethren are Christ's masterpiece. We have been created anew to do the good things God planned for us to do long ago.
So put God's masterpiece on display and let the beauty of His work shine and do well for those who view it.
Jesus sometimes it is so hard to see the beauty that You created from a blank slate. But thank You for creating me and marking me in the prettiest red there is, Your blood. Set me apart and on display for Your glory. May I do the good that You planned for me to do long ago. Amen
