Restored By The Master
June 23, 2014
Read: Colossians 3:8-17
Over the centuries, many attempts have been made to restore damaged and time-worn masterpieces of art. While some of these efforts have skillfully preserved the original work of artists, others have actually damaged many works of genius, including ancient Greek statues and at least two paintings by da Vinci.
In Pauls letter to the Christians at Colosse, he described a restoration process that is impossible in the world of art. Its a restoration of Gods people. Paul wrote, You have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him (Col. 3:9-10). This is no attempt at renovating the work of a deceased artist. It is a spiritual renewal from the living God who created us and gave us new life in His Son, Jesus Christ. His forgiveness brightens the colors of our lives while His grace sharpens the lines of His purpose for us.
The canvas of our lives is in the skilled hands of our Lord who knows who and what He designed us to be. No matter how sin-damaged and dirty we may be, there is hope for renewal and restoration. The Master Artist is alive and at work within us.
Praise, my soul, the King of heaven,
To His feet thy tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Evermore His praises sing. Lyte
Jesus specializes in restoration.
Todays reading reminds us of two influences in our lives (vv.9-10). One is the old man, that is, the person we were before trusting Christ. The other is the new man who is becoming more like Christ. We are to put off the behavior patterns of our old ways and put on the new character qualities of Christ.

Thanks Ma, I saw Lance Corporal Carpenter’s MOH ceremony. What a great kid. Maybe America still has a hope with young heroes like him leading the way. I’m usually optimistic, but unless the ‘pubs take the senate, we are in for a long and more Godless trend leading into 2016.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...hope you had a nice relaxing day.
Did your new posey get into the dirt yet?
I thought today would be a me day, but spent hours with my Mom and Outlook. We have to keep at it, because giving up is not an option. If she gives up, the end will be in sight.

Lovely day today, Yes the hummer came around there is only one. It’s a male and I am told that as the Summer goes on the hummers get a little mean. We shall see.

What a wonderful subject for a thread, Galz! The sad part is that he had to receive his Medal of Honor from the putz-in-chief. Ugh!
