Repulsive, blotched, and stained by sin
A piece of canvas is a trifling thing. You can buy it for a few pennies. You would scarcely think it worth picking up, if you saw it lying in the street.
But an artist takes it and draws a few lines and figures on it, and then with his brush touches in certain colors, and the canvas is sold for hundreds of dollars.
Just so, Christ takes up a ruined, worthless human life which has no beauty, no attractiveness — but is repulsive, blotched, and stained by sin .
Then the fingers of His love add touches of beauty, painting the Divine image upon it, and it becomes precious, glorious, immortal!
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new!" 2 Corinthians 5:17
