The Final
And
Ultimate
Masterpiece
One day
there will be
a final masterpiece in the universe.
It will be a city
called the New Jerusalem.
As all masterpieces go,
this will be
the ultimate expression
of its Creator.
The Bible is the story of this masterpiece.
In the beginning God created
the universe as the background for this masterpiece. Then God formed
man, in His image and likeness, from the dust of the ground. Man was
to be the material for God's masterpiece.
Man only needed to receive God's life, and the work would have
begun. But, God has an enemy, Satan. This enemy moved first and
injected sin and death into man. This made man useless material for
God's masterpiece.
After 4,000 years, God in Christ Jesus reconciled the fallen damaged
man back to Himself through the cross. By believing into this Jesus,
man is once again able to receive God's life and become useful
material to God.
God's life then begins a work of transformation in you.
Transformation is the changing of your clay nature into precious
material containing God's life and element. This makes you a stone,
qualified to be built into God's house, His masterpiece.
At the end of the age is the final unveiling of this completed
masterpiece. The New Jerusalem will be the composition of God and
man to express God eternally.
Would you like to be a part of this masterpiece? Open your heart to
Jesus right now. Ask Him to forgive you of all your sins. Ask Him to
be your new life.
