OBJECT LESSON: SPIRIT-FILLED BOTTLES

(Will need 2 water bottles, One empty and one full)

We can be like these water bottles, here. One is full of "spirit" and one has none. (Crush empty bottle) This empty bottle with no integrity inside is easily crushed under the pressure I apply to the out side. Everything can be destroyed. Its shape and usefulness is no more. But this bottle, full of the "Spirit" will resist me effectively. (Attempt to crush or bounce bottle from the floor). Its full on the inside of "the good stuff" so out side does not cave in.
