If you had a beam of light from God’s eternal glory, why would you put it in a brittle ceramic jar? That’s exactly what God does. There is a treasure given to human beings: the ability to see who Jesus is and to love him for it. That knowledge lights up our souls into eternity. But we who have such knowledge live in these aging, decaying, limited, frail mortal bodies. “We have this treasure in jars of clay” says Paul.

The gospel takes down our walls of self-reliance. It exposes our folly and our need. But then, almost at the same time, the gospel gives us the assurance that God loves us and is with us and will see us through. Weapons of Our War 2 Corinthians 10: 1-6 Gerrit Dawson
