New Creation

"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free."

-- Michelangelo

This quote is by Michelangelo the great artist blessed with talent from God to create the breathtaking Pieta, David, the Sistine Chapel and other miraculous works. This quote is exactly what the Lord does with us. He sees our sin and our flesh that we are embedded in and He carves away until we are set free. Before we are saved we are stuck in our big block of sin, encased in the world, and all its ways. When we accept Jesus into our hearts He works to change our worldly stone heart into one that is filled with compassion, love, kindness, and empathy. He chips away at our old self and makes a new creation. He creates a work of art with His own hands that over time begins to gain the characteristics of the artist Himself. The Creator sees our potential, our future, who we are and who we will be. He sets us free from our bondage and the hardness of the world and transforms us into a work of art. If you haven't yet accepted Christ into your life give Jesus the opportunity to transform your stone jail of sin into a masterpiece carved by freedom from sin, eternal life, and everlasting peace in Him.
