Poiēma, God's Workmanship

Exploring the Faith, Hope & Love of God's Masterpiece

A masterpiece displays the mastery of the Master.

What do you define to be a masterpiece? Is it the statue of David sculpted by Michelangelo? Or Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo da Vinci? Or Canon in D Major composed by Johann Pachelbel? Or Sagrada Familia designed by Antoni Gaudi? Or yourself being crafted by God in the image and likeness of Jesus Christ?
