Treasure in Jars of Clay

 

2 Corinthians 4:7

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.

What treasure?

What treasure is this? It is the light of the knowledge of God. Read 2 Corinthians 4:6. See it? The light of the knowledge of the glory God in the face of Jesus Christ. Knowing God through Jesus Christ. That is the treasure.

Jars of clay?

Yep. Our bodies. From dust we came, and to dust we will return. Then to be risen in glory with our Lord Jesus Christ (I Thessalonians 4:16, 17). We are but jars of clay, but we are filled with a priceless treasure.

All-surpassing power.

Get that? All-surpassing power. This treasure, the knowledge of the glory of God, surpasses, overcomes, and reigns supreme over all. Nothing is greater than the treasure we have within us. No strife, no trial. No worldly glory or honor. Nothing.

What will you do with it?

Within you resides the greatest treasure ever known. Within our frail jars of clay exists the greatest power in creation.

How will you use it today?
