He is famous for His painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, but he was also an accomplished sculp tor, sculpting the famous stat ue, David. I read that Michel angelo was once asked about the inspiration for one of his sculptures and replied, “I saw the angel in the marble and I carved until I set him free.” Michelangelo is famous for his workmanship, the art that he created from his skilled mind and hands. Ephesians 2:10 tells me that I am God’s workman ship, created in Jesus for good works. God is a far greater and more skilled art ist than Michelangelo, and he is working in me and on me, through Jesus, to make me what I should be. I am a work in progress. Maybe you need to be reminded of that today - that you’re a work in progress in Jesus, and God is working to make you what you will be. In my home time, there is a house that is constantly under construction. Every time I see it. I’m still surprised that it's not finished. I bet some Pastor Joshua Johnson Oak Hill Church neighbors even think it's an eye sore because of its con stant incomplete state. God doesn’t view us like I see that house - and incomplete, messy, unfinished work. In Jesus, God sees us as ac cepted and loved sons and daughters. How do I know this? God tells me in His word that when I put my faith in Jesus, I am now found in Jesus - His life is now my life. His perfect sinless life has been applied to me, God now sees Jesus in me. When Jesus was baptized God de clared publicly from Heaven, “This is my son, whom I love and am pleased with.” Before Jesus began His pub lic ministry, before He ever preached a message, taught in a synagogue, called the first disciple, or performed any miracle, God declared His love and pleasure for Je sus. God’s love for His sons and daughters is not earned, it is freely given and freely received. Employees earn, but a son receives. I am not God’s workmanship because He has to, but because He delights in making me more like Jesus. One last thing about the working of God in my life - Michelangelo works from the outside in, but God works from the inside out. Michelangelo would start with a block of marble and chisel away the excess, working his way in. God works from within my heart, and as He changes my heart, the outside of me changes too - my speech, my demeanor, my actions, my character, all change as my heart changes. Are you God’s workman ship? Two types of work are important for us to consider - salvation and sanctification. Salvation is the work of God to bring us to a place of surrender in faith to Jesus. In Rev elation 3:20, Jesus says “Behold I stand at the door and knock , if any man opens the door I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.” God might be working in your life now, knocking on your heart, moving you to open the door to Jesus. Sanctifi cation is the work of God to make us more like Jesus - it takes place after sal vation and it is a lifelong work. Philippians 2:3 says, “for it is God who works See WORDS page 8 LARISCY continued from page 1 Miss Flint River Savannah Lariscy, who will also be a contestant in the Miss Geor gia pageant in June. “Mom got me involved in the world of pageantry. “As a young lady at Screven County High School, Danielle competed in the livestock pageant where she placed as 1st runner up. This was not good enough for my mom, so when she had a daughter, she had her com pete in pageants,” Savannah said. Danielle’s affinity for the interview portion of the pageant was why her family created this $1,000 Danielle Robinson Lariscy Educa tional scholarship, awarded to the young lady that has the best interview.
