If you need a little fixin’ I suggest you take a listen. ON THE POTTER’S WHEEL (37 Minutes; Jeremiah 18:4; SRBC Cyber Sermon #26) describes this place where rough edges are smoothed out. A place where bruises and blemishes will be erased. A place where broken vessels are fixed. A place where you are molded and confirmed to a certain image. Pastor Johnson warns that this place is not to judge us or punish us, but is necessary so that we may form into the masterpiece that the Lord has created us to be. Pastor uses Jeremiah, Jacob and Saul (turned Paul) as evidence of the works of this sacred place. You’re probably wondering why I’ve refer to the potter’s wheel as a place and not a thing. It’s because it’s somewhere we need to go/be. We are the clay, different and unique, who must go to the wheel to feel God’s (the Potter) underserved love and everlasting grace. Even when we’re messy. Even if we break. We must go to the wheel to feel the touch of God’s strong hands yet gentle touch. Hands that will restore us. A touch that will renew us. Oh how beautiful, to be molded, sculpted and fixed by God, the Potter’s, hands.
