Cracked and Blemished Clay Pots
In Luke 9:36-46 the disciples argued about which one of them was the greatest. John then tattled to Jesus about a man who was driving out demons in the name of Jesus. He told Jesus, "We tried to stop him, because he is not one of us." To top that off, a Samaritan village wouldn't welcome Jesus on His way to Jerusalem, so James and John wanted to "call down fire from heaven to destroy them." On our road of discipleship, ego is something that rears it's head sometimes. We have to daily work on our humility and ask God to search our hearts. We must remember that we are cracked and blemished clay pots that Jesus is using to do His work, and that we don't deserve to be doing His work. That reminder should keep us humble.
