[The Glory Unveiled]
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. ( 2 Corinthians 4:7 )
2 Timothy 2:20-21 records that there are vessels of honour and vessels of dishonor. And before anyone is used for honourable purposes, they are to purge themselves from dishonor. Under ordinary circumstances, the kind of treasures spoken of in our anchor verse of scripture are not supposed to be in jars of clay. But so that it may be known that the all-surpassing power is from God and not from human origin or source, they are hidden in clay. Jars of clay(human beings) are incapable of hosting this treasure of God’s glory and power by themselves. This is why the Holy Spirit is a necessity for the believer. The reason being that we carry in us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory in the face of Christ. Through the knowledge of the glory of God in Christ, we are privileged to demonstrate this life through our lives. And Christ Jesus has become unto us, the purge; our hyssop and cleaning agent so that what is seen through us, is void of all the biases of our weaknesses. And that the power of God is displayed as of God and not of us. Glory be to God!
Prayer_Bead: Treasure of my heart and soul, lifter of my head and feet, and Saviour of my life, thank you for hiding your glory in me. And giving me the opportunity through Christ to make known your power.
