McGee examines the picture of the potter and clay to look at the truthful relationship between God and mankind. He notes that God created man from the dust of the Earth while saying Let us make man in our own image. Even though man is merely a created being, man no longer recognizes God s right and authority to form and shape his creation according to the pleasure of his own will. Yet, rather then a call to become passive and fatalistic, this sermon is a call for faithful obedience and trust just as God is faithful to never remove us from his potters wheel.
