8.너희는 그 은혜에 의하여 믿음으로 말미암아 구원을 받았으니 이것은 너희에게서 난 것이 아니요 하나님의 선물이라 9.행위에서 난 것이 아니니 이는 누구든지 자랑하지 못하게 함이라 10.우리는 그가 만드신 바라 그리스도 예수 안에서 선한 일을 위하여 지으심을 받은 자니 이 일은 하나님이 전에 예비하사 우리로 그 가운데서 행하게 하려 하심이니라. [CSB] 8.For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift— 9 not from works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time for us to do. [새번역] 8.여러분은 믿음을 통하여 은혜로 구원을 얻었습니다. 이것은 여러분에게서 난 것이 아니요, 하나님의 선물입니다. 9.행위에서 난 것이 아닙니다. 그러므로 아무도 자랑할 수 없습니다. 10.우리는 하나님의 작품입니다. 선한 일을 하게 하시려고, 하나님께서 그리스도 예수 안에서 우리를 만드셨습니다. 하나님께서 이렇게 미리 준비하신 것은, 우리가 선한 일을 하며 살아가게 하시려는 것입니다.

INTRODUCTION: [Leonardo Da Vinci’s Last Supper]

   Da Vinci began this painting in 1495 and took a year to complete it. He painted The Last Supper right into a wall of the dining hall at the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie. He wanted to use the one-point perspective in his painting, important for the achievement of three- dimensional and highly realistic works. This method makes subjects appear smaller the further away they get. Leonardo’s painting gives an illusion and draws the viewer right into it; into the chaos. To achieve this perspective, Leonardo da Vinci used a hammer and nail! The nail went into the wall and the string was tied to it to make guiding marks for the positioning of the other subjects at the perfect angles. Da Vinci designed this piece so that the focal point of the entire painting is Jesus’ face. The perspective is drawn in such a way that all lines in the painting converge on Jesus’ forehead so that Jesus is the focal point, or where the viewer’s eye keeps returning. Jesus is literally the center of the painting. This is no accident. This was the artist’s design and intention. Likewise Jesus is the center of God’s design and plan. A creative illustration of this is found in DaVinci’s Last Supper. This is how God has designed life to be fully enjoyed-with Jesus at the center.
