Bishop Simpson gives this illustration of the composition of Christ’s
completed kingdom:
In some of the great halls of Europe may be seen pictures not
painted with the brush, but mosaics, which are made up of small
pieces of stone, glass, or other material. The artist takes
these little pieces, and, polishing and arranging them, he forms
them into the grand and beautiful picture. Each individual
part of the picture may be a little worthless piece of glass
or marble or shell; but with each in its place, the whole
constitutes the masterpiece of art. So I think it will be with
humanity in the hands of the great artist. God is picking up
the little worthless pieces of stone and brass, that might be
trodden under foot unnoticed, and is making of them His great
masterpiece.
