Uniquely You - Ephesians 2:10 - Pastor Jon Langford

I wanted us to think a little bit this morning about what it is to be uniquely you, uniquely me.

What does that mean for us? And we're going to root that in this scripture.

Paul writes to the church in Ephesus, and he says, For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works.

which God prepared in advance for us to do.

I wonder if you just read that with me.

I want us all to take that in this morning.

So would you like to read it with me? For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

So let's break it down.

First off, we get this, that we are God's workmanship.

In the Greek, this apparently literally means we are God's work of art.

So let's start as we mean to go on.

Turn to the people next to you and say, you are God's work of art.

It's interesting, isn't it? Whenever I do that...

Whenever and wherever I do that, you get exactly the same reaction.

People laugh, people comment, people look at each other and go, I'm not sure about this, but you are God's work of art.

But that's what the scripture says.
