#soap # Ephesians 02 ## Title: God’s Refrigerator Art ## Scripture: (Ephesians 2:10) “For we are his creative work, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand so we can do them.” (NET) ## Observation: When my daughters were little, they loved to draw pictures. One day, one of them brought me a picture of a badly drawn semi-straight line. I asked what it was supposed to be. She said, “Daaaaad. It’s a castle, of course.” Oh. So I put it on our refrigerator to display this great castle. A few days later, a friend came over and asked what it was. I told him, “Well, it’s a castle of course!” He couldn’t see the point because his child hadn’t drawn it. To him, it was a badly drawn semi-straight line. To me, it was a work of art not because of what it was but because of who it represented. This is what Jesus thinks of His church. He calls us His masterpiece. When we look at ourselves, we may not agree. However, God sees something beautiful and worth giving His life for. ## Application: See everyone around you today as a precious work of art, beautiful in God’s sight. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for seeing us as worth saving.
