PARABLE OF THE FLOUR JAR
Elias’ the Teacher said, “A young woman rode her cart to the market. There she filled a large pottery jar with flour. Placing it in the back of the cart, she made her way home.
“Upon returning her father said, ‘Daughter dear, please bake me a small loaf to ease my hunger.’
“The young woman went to carry the jar of flour into the house. Coming to the back of the cart, she found the jar lying upon its side and the flour gone. During her journey down the rocky road, the jar had tipped over, spilling its contents along the way, scattering the flour to the four winds. The jar had been full, but was now empty, leaving no flour to make a loaf to ease her father’s hunger.”
After pondering the story for a moment, I said, “Teacher, I perceive this story is about the Levites, but the meaning escapes me.”
“Yes, you are right, my friend. It is about some of the Levites. Let me explain. When young, many Levites were eager to be filled with God’s Word so that they could, in turn, feed many hungry souls. The Almighty filled them to overflowing with the Lord’s Sustenance. At first these Levites faithfully gave spiritual food to many, freely distributing the Bread of God.
“But during their years of sojourn in life, the bumps and obstacles of this world confused them, making them dizzy and off balance. Jostled by the trials and potholes of life in this fallen world, their hearts were overturned, spilling the spiritual food the Almighty had given them. Before long, the Levites were empty vessels, no longer having anything inside their hearts to feed those hungry for God’s Word. The Levites appear to be the same vessels on the outside, but inside they are empty, unable to feed those who are starving for the Bread of God. Some Levites are like the jar of flour that fell, spilling its contents to the four winds.”
