I have read 2 Corinthians 4:7 many times, 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. God’s valuable and powerful message of grace and mercy has been entrusted to frail and fallible human beings. As the notes in my Bible put it, “Paul was not focused on the perishable container, but on it’s priceless contents – God’s power dwelling in us.” Though we are weak, God uses us and gives us power to do His work. Knowing where our power really comes from should motivate us to stay away from pride and stay in constant contact with God who is the source of our power.
