The Summons: Grappling With God’s Kingdom and KingMark 1:21-34 Jon Morales It is a common reality in the art world to find a masterpiece hidden beneath an ordinary layer of paint. Countless stories tell of lost Picassos or Magrittes uncovered in the midst of restoration projects. An art restorer’s task is to look past the surface to reveal the masterpiece that lies below. When a famous painting is found beneath layers of plain paint, the goal is not to create something new but to uncover what was always there. Once he is finished, the restorer ultimately reclaims the artist’s original design. In much the same way, God is reclaiming His beautiful masterpiece. Join us this Sunday as we continue our series in the Gospel of Mark and discover how Jesus entered our world to take back what belongs to Him.
