Romans 9:21 - The Potter and The Clay

Spent yesterday pondering and studying up on Romans 9:21 (NLT) Rom 9:21 When a potter makes jars out of clay, doesn't He have a right to use the same lump of clay to make one jar for decoration and another to throw garbage into? And found this in the: Exposition of the Epistle to the Romans by Robert Haldane It is this right or power according to justice that is here asserted. When the potter molds the clay into what form he pleases, he does nothing contrary to justice; neither does God do injustice in the exercise of absolute power over His creatures. [B][B]Out of the same original lump or mass He forms, in His holy sovereignty, one man unto honor, and another unto dishonor, without in any respect violating justice. Here it is implied that as there is no difference between the matter or lump out of which the potter forms diversity of vessels, so there is no difference in mankind,[/B][/B]
