Jeremiah 18:1-11, Philemon 1-21
Today's passage involves the potter and the clay and how the potter sculpts, smashes and reshapes. The Philemon passage talks about Paul's advocacy for the returning of the slave Onesimus to his owner, Philemon. I use the analogy of Handel's Messiah, when the aria talks about Smashing the Clay into pieces. Sometimes in life we need to be smashed into pieces, so to speak. God is the potter and we need to be the moldable clay. When we follow Christ and the example of Paul, we become this reshapen pieces, taken apart and putting back together. Through activism and acknowledging others as equals in Christ, we create an environment of inclusivity and love. Can you relate?
