Treasures in Jars of Clay; The Lessons of Gideon

The Connection Church Season 6 Episode 59

2 Corinthians 4:7 “we are like clay jars in which this treasure is stored. The real power comes from God and not from us.” 

The Amplified Bible says it this way; But we have this precious treasure [the good news about salvation] in [unworthy] earthen vessels [of human frailty], so that the grandeur and surpassing greatness of the power will be [shown to be] from God [His sufficiency] and not from ourselves.

God goes beyond just ordinary vessels, God uses broken vessels. In other words. He uses imperfect people who put their trust in a perfect God. 

In this way, when a brother or sister in Christ accomplishes something great,  all men will know that it is God who has manifested His power and glory through them. And in that way, all will know that it was not the work of men but the work of God."
