And having held a consultation, they purchased with them the plot of ground where the potter dug his clay, as a burial place for the strangers
...
Did you ever wonder why, when Judas returned the money which he had received for betraying his Lord, why it was that the men went out and bought a "potter's field" for a place to bury Judas, and other strangers? Why didn't they buy apiece of old waste land somewhere outside the city?
...
Judas was certainly a dishonourable vessel, having betrayed his Lord, and come to such an ignoble end of his natural life, until finally, having hanged himself, they took him and buried him out in the field where the potter dug his clay.  Ah, what beautiful typology! When all would be decomposed, dust returned to dust, once again apart of the clay of the earth, it could be taken up and remade into another vessel, this time to be one unto praise, honour, and glory.

Jer 18:3  and I go down to the potter's house, and lo, he is doing a work on the stones,
Jer 18:4  and marred is the vessel that he is making, as clay in the hand of the potter, and he hath turned and he maketh it another vessel, as it was right in the eyes of the potter to make.
Jer 18:5  And there is a word of Jehovah to me, saying:
Jer 18:6  As this potter am I not able to do to you? O house of Israel, an affirmation of Jehovah. Lo, as clay in the hand of the potter, So are ye in My hand, O house of Israel.
Jer 18:7  The moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, To pluck up and to break down, and to destroy,
Jer 18:8  And that nation hath turned from its evil, Because I have spoken against it, Then I have repented of the evil that I thought to do to it.

Rom 9:21  hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour?
Rom 9:22  And if God, willing to shew the wrath and to make known His power, did endure, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted for destruction,
Rom 9:23  and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call--us--
