Text — Ephesians 2:8-10
Message
A potter is a professional who moulds pots. The pots are made in different shapes and moulds. The pot has no say in its design. It is the potter that decides what to make out of the clay. In the process of moulding, the potter can change the original design as it suits him. That is the type of relationship humans have with God our Creator. God is our Marker and Designer. He can do with us as it pleases Him. As believers in Christ, we are God’s workmanship; we reflect His works of creation and redemption.
Our Bible passage is an encouragement to believers to build up their faith in God. The main focus in the passage is to remind us that we are God’s artwork, masterpieces and workmanship and should be happy with the way we were created. We should appreciate God Who made us the way we are. So, if one is tall or short, fat or slim, black or white, he/she is the handiwork of God. We are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Remember, Jeremiah complained of being a child, but what was God’s reply? “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee;” (Jeremiah 1:5a) Also, Moses complained of not being eloquent in speech, but God still used him to do great things. God knows us and He has great plans for all His creatures.
