The Vatican Museums are filled with some of the most incredible art in the world. The paintings, the sculptures, the architecture – each piece reflects its artist’s passion and creativity while pointing to the ultimate Creator, God.
Scripture tells us that, just like those masterpieces, each of us is a unique work of art, intentionally crafted by God. He created you to showcase his goodness and glory in your own, unique way.
It breaks God’s heart to see sin distort his beautiful creation. That’s why he went to such great lengths to rescue us. When you put your trust in Jesus, your old, sinful self dies, and you’re transformed into something new: a vibrant work of art shining brightly in the world.
Check out this scene from The Chosen in which Mary Magdalene tells Nicodemus about the transformation she experienced when she encountered Jesus.
“This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” –2 Corinthians 5:17
