A Pure Vessel

In 2 Timothy 2:19-21, the Apostle Paul uses the imagery of vessels in a great house to illustrate the importance of living a life set apart for God. Just as some vessels are made for honorable purposes and others for common use, God calls His people to be pure and useful for His work. This passage reminds us that cleansing ourselves from sin and worldly distractions isn’t just about avoiding wrongdoing—it’s about being prepared for every good work God has planned for us. A pure vessel is one that is ready, willing, and available for God’s purposes. This message challenges us to examine our hearts, pursue holiness, and commit ourselves fully to being vessels of honor in God’s hands.
