WHEN THE CLAY GOES WRONG, POTTER STARTS AFRESH
By Fr. Felix (African Times Guest Writer)
I remember watching a blind potter in the
Christian, Coptic quarter of Duquesne in
Pittsburgh PA. He sat at his wheel, busily
turning it with his feet, moulding his pot by the
touch of his hands, smiling lovingly and
imaginatively as the pot grew into the shape he
was creating. The floor was littered with
discarded shapes of clay, thick and thin,
bulbous and bendy, fine or coarse. So I
imagined Jeremiah on his afternoon stroll led
by the LORD to the potter, one like this here.
Many are the lessons which can be learnt from
this act of creation, that God creates as he wills,
that each of us is different, has different
character and talents, a different place in God’s
plan of creation. In the following chapter the
lesson from a pot, broken once it has been fired,
is that Israel can be irreparably broken. Here,
however, the message is that God can change
his mind to respond to human good will. If
Israel would respond and turn back to the LORD
he would avert the disaster which was
impending.
