He sent for the individual with whom he had had disagreement years before; he then made overtures of peace. The two of them shook hands in friendship.

    Jeremiah’s visit to the potter’s workshop was the means of God’s giving him an acted-parable of what he could do with the marred nation of Israel and mankind in general.
