2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.
From the glory of the new creation, Paul shifted to the humility of the clay jar. His focus was not on the fragile container but on its priceless contents — God’s power living in us. Thus, we should concentrate on the treasure inside. We should not focus on the vessel. It is the treasure within that gives the vessel its value.
Although we are weak, God can use us to spread His message. He empowers us to do His work. We can be encouraged because God is glorified through weak vessels!
Blessings,
