The Lord Jesus asserts His right over every vessel which He chooses to use, for He is the Master of the house, His church. In this message, Alistair Begg unpacks Paul’s metaphor of the honorable and dishonorable vessels in 2 Timothy 2 to inspire us to faithful service. To be the Lord’s vessel is a privilege for which we prepare by pursuing holiness and fleeing sin. We seek to live in the righteousness provided for us by Christ, for the privilege of our usefulness is tied to this pursuit.
20Now in ia great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, jsome for honorable use, some for dishonorable. 21Therefore, kif anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable,4 he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, lready for every good work.
22So mflee nyouthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with othose who call on the Lord pfrom a pure heart.
