His grace. .unmerited favor….favor that I cannot buy…it is free
A picture of His grace is found in Jer. Ch 18, vs 1 down through vs16. Here is the great potter…God …working and molding in our lives…but there is a flaw there and our lives become marred with sin….that looks like me there on the wheel ……but look He made it again another vessel, as seemed good in the hand of the potter to make it….is that you there? “ as it seemed good to the potter to make it.” He’ll do it for you my friend, He’s the same now as then….the song says. If and oh, how big is that little word “if”
If we allow ourselves to be clay in the potter’s hand there is no limit to what He can do…it will be a good work.
Even when we are chastened ……that’s grace ….working on our behalf to make us better Christians. HEB. 12:11 TELLS US , “Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterwards it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.” The potter broke up the original work and crushed it and remolded it in his hands, but he made it into a better vessel ….without flaws…that peaceable fruit of righteousness is formed in those who are trained by God’s discipline. This to is grace is it not?
