138. A Clean Vessel

A Clean Vessel

(Isaiah 66:20) "An offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord."

It was once a vessel of honor on that bench, giving out life-giving water to thirsty travelers. It has been handled by many unclean hands. Its nature is not changed, but its looks have been marred. So it will be taken to the potter again to be filed and scraped. He will remove all uncleanness left by contact with soiled hands, then place it in the furnace again, burn it once more.

It comes out for use again, clean without and within, "A Clean Vessel."
