A Useful Vessel
A Usefel Vessel
“If you give up your life for Me, you will find true life.” Matthew 16:25 NLT
When you’re full of yourself, God can’t fill you.
But when you wmpty yourself, God has a useful vessel. Your Bible overflows with examples of those who did.
In his gospel, Matthew mentions his own name only twice. Both times he calls himslef a tax collector. In his list of apostles, he assigns himself the eighth spot.
John doesn’t even mention his name in his gospel. The twenty appearences of ”John” all refer to the Baptist. John the apostle simply calls himself “the other disciple” or the “disciple whom Jesus loved.”
Luje wrote two of the most important books in the Bible but never once penned his own name.
