For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus…..  Eph 2:10

Dan Erickson of People Matter Ministries translates this verse as “YOU ARE GOD’S MASTERPIECE”.  You are a rare work of art, You are of great value.

I ran across an article today detailing the sale of a rare teddy bear at auction.. It sold for over $48,000!!!  That’s a lot of money for a teddy bear.

If this man made teddy bear has a value like this, imagine the value you have in God’s eyes. You are His creation, His masterpiece. Even the number of hairs on your head are counted. He knows even when a sparrow falls. You are worth far more than a sparrow. You are worth much more than a teddy bear. You are worth the blood of His Son, Jesus Christ, shed so that you may join God in heaven.  Now that is a large price to pay for such a valuable masterpiece. And God says, you are worth it.
