Ephesians 2:1-10
Growing up, there was a show on TV I enjoyed watching that for a young kid was likely a bit unusual. While I watched Leave it to Beaver, Andy Griffith, Gilligan's Island, and the Addam's Family - I was mesmerized by Bob Ross. Who remembers Bob Ross? W/ his soft, soothing voice and easy to learn paint strokes, he taught any want-to-be artist how to create a working masterpiece. Every week, he'd take a blank, white canvas - and w/ a mixing palette in one hand and a paint brush in the other, he'd go to work - and w/in minutes - w/ what appeared to be an ugly smudge here, and a dab/smear there - he'd create a work of art out of nothing.
In Ephesians 2:1-10, Paul shares w/ us how Jesus has taken poor smudges like you/me - and w/ a dab of grace here, and a touch of mercy there - can create incredible works of art out of our nothingness.
You've seen a painter w/ his palette on his finger and he has ugly little daubs of paint on the palette. What can he do w/ those spots? Go see the picture. What a splendid painting! In an even wiser way does Jesus act toward us. He takes us, poor smudges of paint, and He makes the blessed pictures of His grace out of us. It's neither the brush nor the paint He uses, but it's the skill of His own hand which does it all. Spurgeon
If you're just joining us, we're in a series about what it means to abide in Christ. We've been looking at the essential spiritual activities God has offered us to help us live plugged into and empowered by the H.S. so we can live connected w/ and aligned under Him.
