God’s Masterpiece

Masterpiece: a work of outstanding artistry, skill, or workmanship

In Paul’s day artists used iron oxide, lime or even arsenic to create their color pallette They were willing to draw from any source no matter how crude to create beauty. Heaven’s master designer draws His pallette from strange people like us and blends us together to be His masterpiece, the church. So if this morning it seems like you are being painted into a corner with folks who are a bit odd just relax. It may be that today God will apply some brush strokes of a new color in you to show His amazing love to a wondering world!

God the Artist

So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
Genesis 1:27

So as the artist and architect of the universe, what kind of artist do you suppose God is? Is He a realist revealing every detail? Could He be. French Impressionist, expressing His deepest emotions,or a pointilist making us connect the dots? Could our Lord be an abstract artist concealing His greatest beauty in a secret place. What do you think? Remembering my many childhood visits to see the art my parents loved I was just thinking about this today!20170627_113726
