Emphasis Preaching Journal

Jake Cress is a master craftsman who handcrafts furniture of very unusual styles. His "Oops" chair is a chair with one leg reaching out to capture a ball that has somehow fallen out of its appointed place as the foot of the leg. "Hickory Dickory Clock" is a grandfather clock whose face is bent downward, the better to see the mouse climbing up its base. The furniture is pricey, not entirely practical, but certainly makes great conversation pieces.

We are Christ's masterpieces, molded by the master craftsman's own hands. And we are more than conversation pieces; we are extremely practical, doing good works in Jesus' name.
