1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from
the LORD 2 Go down to the potter's house, and
there I will give you my message. 3 So I went
down to the potter's house, and I saw him working
at the wheel. Jeremiah 181-3
3
4 But the pot he was shaping from the clay was
marred in his hands so the potter formed it into
another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.
5 Then the word of the LORD came to me 6 O
house of Israel, can I not do with you as this
potter does? declares the LORD. "Like clay in
the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O
house of Israel. Jeremiah 184-6

GODS PURPOSE People Created in His Image for a
Relationship with Himself
the LORD God formed the man from the dust of
the ground and breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life, and the man became a living
being. Genesis 27
5
GODS PAINSin defaced the image of God (in
us) and ruined the relationship (we were created
for).
6
GODS PASSION
To restore His image in us and reconcile us to
Himself
17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new
creation the old has gone, the new has come!
18All this is from God, who reconciled us to
himself through Christ (2 Corinthians
517-18a)
