WHY "THIRD DAY CLAY"?

Hi, I'm Jessie, the gal behind third day clay! My love for clay started in high school where I took my first ceramics class and  realized working with clay felt weirdly instinctive to me! I went on to study fine arts at the University of Florida, learning more about the ceramics world and falling even more in love with the medium. Since graduating from college, I started up this small business in September 2023 and now here we are! I'm currently based in Orlando, FL working out of my humble garage studio. 

 

The meaning behind the name third day clay is incredibly important to me and is the reason why I am doing what I’m doing! First off, God created clay on the third day of creation.

​

Second, Jesus, who is both fully human and divine, rose from death on the third day. Why the heck is this significant? Because it shows God's incredible love for you and me. He sent Jesus, His very own Son, to die to save us from death, and to reunite us imperfect humans with His perfect self. When we truly believe, we live with God Himself, the Creator of the universe, now with His Spirit in us, and can look forward to life after death with Him with no pain and no sadness, forever. In literal perfect harmony.

​

Because God can’t be in the presence of sin, and because we make mistakes, we humans needed this! Jesus’ death on the cross covers our sins and makes us worthy to be in God’s presence when we truly believe that this death on the cross and resurrection happened. This undeserved favor from God is what saves us, not our works. But this faith then propels us to actively turn away from sin and do good works because of his goodness toward us. He wants everyone to believe in him and have eternal life; this is not exclusive to a particular group of people.

​

So all that to say (thank you for staying with me) is that I am here to share this incredible news through the gifts he has given me. I’ve found that believing in Jesus has brought more joy, peace, and purpose into my life, and all I want is the same for you.

​

Thankful for you.
