You introduce them to this beautiful allegory of the potter and his vessels. In this fourth book in The Potter Series, an oil lamp is placed on a pedestal to shine for the other vessels. Over time, its high, lonely position causes its oil to disappear, and the oil lamp will burn out. Simultaneously, in the back corner of the workshop sits another clay creation. This little vessel is a small, damaged jar that does not fit in. The other pieces of pottery only know it is there once the potter pulls it from the ashes and uses its flaw to replenish the oil lamp with oil. While the oil lamp believes it should help the jar, it discovers that the wounded container can help it. Like the crack in the small jar, our creator can use our flaws to help others.Additionally, the jar's design allows it to fit perfectly into the rim of the oil lamp. Together, the vessels serve the potter and overcome their loneliness. The Holy Spirit and OilThe Bible uses oil to represent the Holy Spirit.
