Who Do You Think You Are?
“God’s Masterpiece”

“This is the word the Lord spoke to Jeremiah: 2“Go down to the potter’s house, and I will give you my message there.” 3 So I went down to the potter’s house and saw him working at the potter’s wheel. 4 He was using his hands to make a pot from clay, but something went wrong with it.
