SAFARA A. WITMER Dean Fort Wayne Bible Institute Indiana State University A. I3. Taylor University Missions and Evangelism W e Are His W orkmanslupv cEph.2.1op We are living in a creative age. The emphasis even among Christians is on SERVICE and ACHIEVEMENT. We forget that WE OURSELVES are the product of God's creative work in redemption. Oh, that the meaning of this tremendous truth would grip us as the truth of God's love almost over- whelmed the mind of a South Sea native when he first heard a missionary repeat John 3:10. 'tls it true? he asked. Can it be that God so loved the world? ls it really true? The missionary assured him that it was the very message he came to proclaim. The native burst into tears, and turning from the little company, retreated soberly into the bushes to think alone on the wonderful news. WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIPV' We are the object of His redeeming love! We are to be fashioned according to HIS creative plan! The infinite God-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - is trying to make something worthy out of us! He has gone to the limit in His investment in the finished product! He Ugave His only begotten Son! And what a glorious ideal the divine Potter has for you and me! From the horrible pit of miry clay, from the depths of depravity and ruin, He takes the raw material of broken, sin- besmirched human lives and begins to remake and fashion them accord- ing to His glorious purpose. And that is nothing less than Christlikeness. He is creating free, holy, Christlike personalities who will live forever in His fellowship and share with Him the glories of the world to come! May we never cease to wonder, love, and praise! ELEVEN
