Jars of Clay

2 Corinthians 4: 7 "We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us."

The treasure is the light of the knowledge of the glory of God. The One who created the sun that is so bright we cannot stand to look at it has taken residence in the life of the believer. That is an awesome treasure.

But we hold that treasure in clay pots. Have you noticed that as believers we are all pretty ordinary? Have you noticed that clay pots are prone to getting beat up?

The point is that the spot light in our lives needs to be on the treasure and not on us.
