THE ARTIST IS NOW KNOWN

In 2002, a drawing was discovered in what used to be a maid's room in one of the museums. The chalk drawing of a candlestick was one of 5 drawings sold collectively to the museum in 1940 for $60.

For decades, it sat in the storage until one day a visiting scholar recognized it for what it was: an original Michelangelo. Today, it is valued at more than $12 million.

What was the difference between the drawing in 2002 and the drawing now? Nothing. It's the same drawing it has always been. The only difference is that the artist is now known.

You are the child of the living God! You are worth the price of His Son Jesus!
