We Have This Treasure in Jars of Clay

What is your most treasured possession? A favorite piece of jewelry? A drawing by your child or a heartfelt letter from a dear friend?

All that we treasure here on earth will one day turn back into dust.

There’s only one person that will not—the greatest treasure in the world—Jesus.

The same Creator God who said, “Let there be light,” chose to put His light in us—in you and in me! The Bible calls this treasure “the light of the knowledge of the glory of God displayed in the face of Jesus Christ,” and it says,

…we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.

What an amazing gift. That beautiful, eternal light—faith in God—fills us here and now, in our temporary, limited human bodies.

Do you have this treasure? Believe in God. Let His light fill you today.

“Do you have this treasure? Believe in God. Let His light fill you today.”

2 Corinthians 4:7

“We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.”
