That ye may be sincere  .  .  .  till the day of Christ.
This word sincere comes from two Latin words, sine cera, which mean “without wax”. This used to be stamped on the bottom of pottery during the Roman Empire when the piece was certified as having no flaws. A dishonest potter would take a piece which was flawed and fill in the cracks with wax. But when it was held up to the sunlight the flaws would appear. This is a great lesson to learn because we are like vessels. Are we hypocrites? Are we “faking it”? Or are we sine cera? Sincere!
