Reading through the Bible-Jars of Clay

2 Corinthians 4, "For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. ⁶ For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,”^[a] made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.  ⁷ But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us."
The gospel treasure is contained by people marked by weakness, frailty and a kind of living death. Paradoxically this life situation serves to enhance the message we bring, not detract from it. Once real in Christ, you can't become ugly or unreal again.
Do you feel free to be real in your relationship with Christ? Talk to him about the parts of yourself you feel are shabby. Listen for his loving response. Thank You for Your loving response!!!
