”But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.“
2 Corinthians 4:7 KJV
Paul says in figurative language, “We are like common clay jars that carry this glorious treasure within, so that this immeasurable power will be seen as God’s, not ours.” He says that we are common clay jars created from dust and yet we possess the brilliant light of God’s glory, Jesus Christ, and carry Him as treasure in our being. The outward vessel is not as important as the glorious treasure within. Like when Gideon hid the torches when he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. They won that battle. Today Christ has caused us to triumph by putting in us, jars of clay, the treasure of the fire of the mighty Holy Spirit. We always have the victory. Hallelujah!
