How do we know that God requires empty vessels to be filled?

Throughout the sermon, it is emphasized that God desires empty vessels to fill. This principle is rooted in the nature of salvation, as we are called to come to Him with nothing to offer but our need. Elisha instructed the widow to gather empty vessels, emphasizing that fullness comes only to those who are empty of self-sufficiency and pride. This is a hard lesson for humanity to learn, as many believe they have merit and worth to commend themselves to God. However, the Gospel teaches that it is only in acknowledging our emptiness that we can receive the fullness of Christ. As Jesus said, 'Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.'
