POST #19: JESUS' SERMON ON THE MOUNT: Designed for His Purpose - Blessed are the Meek...

So, who creates a piece of pottery, designed for a specific purpose, that will be sturdy enough to serve it's purpose well? What if that "pot in the making" could talk back while it's being designed?

• "Don't pinch me!"
• "What do you think you're doing to me?"
• "Do you know what you're doing?"
• "Leave me alone!"
• "I don't want to be a vessel for you!"

.
If the pot's cries were honored with no more pinching, no more work, no following wisdom to do what is best, then the pot would never be finished or be able to fulfill it's purpose. A wise pot will allow the designer to do His work.
.
When it happens, the results are beautiful and blessed!  When reading JESUS' 3rd beatitude, "Blessed are the meek...", we learn that means a willingness to let someone else be in control or have the power without fighting back.

"But we have this treasure in jars of clay 

to show that this all-surpassing power 

is from God 

and not from us."

2 Corinthians 4:7
