But we have this treasure in jars of clay
see 2 Corinthians 4:6-11
to show that this all-surpassing power
is from God and not from us.
CLAY POTS ARE PRETTY HANDY. Like soil, their porous surface allows air and moisture to breath, making them suitable containers for plants….temporarily.
Clay pots do not last forever. They eventually crack and crumble, returning to the earth from whence they came. These common vessels often carry treasure, though: life itself – usually in the form of a plant or bulb – something that may live on and on, far outlasting the fragile form that was once a temporary, humble home.
When the Apostle Paul writes about “treasure in jars of clay”, it is not about gold, silver, or exotic plants. What is the “treasure”? What are these “jars of clay”?
