Masterpiece is a great word. It comes to mid in Ephesians 2:10 when the Apostle Paul says, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” The word “workmanship” can best be thought of as “masterpiece.” In Philippians 3:12, Paul said wanted to “take hold of that for …
