A masterpiece is an amazing work of art created by a master artisan. “For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works” (Eph. 2:10). God is the Master who is recreating each believer into a masterpiece in Jesus.
A masterpiece also is unique. There is only one “Lord’s Supper,” “David,” “Mona Lisa” and other such artistic works. Their uniqueness is what makes them so valuable. We know we all have different talents and abilities and the Bible says we also have different spiritual gifts. Paul uses the illustration of the human body to emphasize the different but important function of each person in the family of God.
As leaders we are called to serve God and help Him in His work of creating masterpieces out of believers’ lives. We must remember that we are called only to assist the Master and He alone knows what the finished work will look like. So many times, good-intentioned leaders can hinder this process by trying to influence the masterpiece to become what they think it should be.
Remember our job is to encourage believers to discover and become who God wants them to be.
