The world regards a masterpiece as something of unusual excellence, such as a rare object of art. People realize that masterpieces are created by artists who have perfected an art or craft to the point where it is near to perfection. Thus a masterpiece has come to mean something created that is as nearly perfect as can be conceived by the human mind.
The finest and only true masterpiece, however, is more illusive to the material senses. This masterpiece is the idea created by God. It is called man. This masterpiece does not border on perfection; it is the reflection or expression of perfection. Therefore it is a much more momentous creation than mankind realizes.
The Psalmist gave the world a true concept of this idea when he said (Ps. 8:6), "Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet."
