‘Why did you make me like this?’

A lump of clay cannot question the potter,

‘Why did you make me into a valuable vessel rather than a common one?’

The reason is because it is the potter's prerogative.

The potter made the vessel as he desired.

Yet, despite this, we, as creatures, challenge the authority of the Creator,

asking, ‘Why did you make me like this?’

It can only be the stubbornness of us humans,

who refuse to humbly accept the authority of God,

who is the potter

(Romans 9:20-21).
