Jars of Clay

When you think about it humans are rather fragile things. We get sick, we break down, we’re not overly strong like other creatures, and we barely make it to a century on this planet before dying. Yet God uses us weak little vessels for the powerful message of the Gospel. 2 Corinthians 4:6-7 says, “For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.” It’s a sobering and encouraging thing at the same time. We’re not so fragile and useless that he can’t use us, but we’re not so powerful in what we do that we strip away his glory. God gets the glory in the simplicity of the gospel message being preached by us little humans. Continue to be that little jar of clay that holds such treasure to change the world because God created you for such a purpose as this.
