Vessels means a lot of things depending on the concept in which it's needed. Vessels in this context means a container made for the carriage of something from the source to its needed location. I believe the definition is general enough to understand a part of what we want to discuss.
In a situation whereby someone is being compared to a vessel, there must be a meaning (at least) to that. What vessel are you? This is a question of identity, that shows what you know about yourself and how well you can defend the definition of yourself.
This question has lots of questions about it. We have who are you?, what are you meant to do(purpose)? where is your place(position) and so on? These questions have lots of things embedded in them that must be treated carefully so that there won't be any misconception.
Now, as vessels, Who or what are you carrying? Who or what is the source of your substance? Who are you delivering to? How often? This and more are the things we'll be discussing.
Being a vessel means you are a representative. Who or what you represent determines what you carry, the delivery point, the source, and how often. We all stand for one belief or the other, so who and what we believe makes us.
The question of identity can be answered with the belief system of an individual. We as Christians believe in the Lord and He directs, leads, and helps us in all we do. Due to our belief we have a source by grace (which is the birth, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ) who is THE LIGHT.
Apart from being the source, God is the content (the Holy Spirit) and the product for delivery. But we must know that every vessel has its own function and usefulness. A basket can't fetch water, neither can't a plastic boil anything on gas. Some function unto honor while some unto dishonor.
Indeed there are vessels in a great house( the earth), but some clay pots can be unto honor ready for the master's use than others, the difference is the content in the container. Before the master can use any vessel, he/she must have been purged in and out (holiness is the only requirement for usability).
When each vessel knows their identity, place, and purpose everyone can work together to proclaim the words of God by representing in the best way we can in Love and unity. Never looking back, but gathering courage from the Lord and Christians around us every day and deliver it consistently.
Do you know who are? How cleansed are you? Are you available and usable for the Lord's service? Are you a vessel unto honor or dishonor? Think about these and ask the holy spirit to transform and make you ready for the master's use. He's waiting for your response. (2 timothy 2:20-21). Be an ambassador today! SHALOM!!!
