2 Corinthians 3:12 - 4:18
"But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and no to us." 2 Corinthians 4:7
Most people would put this treasure in a safe or something that would resist any type of force!
God chose to put His treasure into the believers!
This bowl was made from clay that came off of the property here. I chose this because it reminds me that God fashioned man from the dust of the earth. This bowl was made from a student at Judson, it was perhaps the most humble vessel made from the students. The bowls were made in 2016 for the purpose of getting food awareness to those going hungry. "Bowls for Hunger", I believe, was the name of the event, and a meal was served in the various bowls made by the students. The bowl purchases raised monies to be used to obtain food for the less fortunate. The lady that made the bowl was thrilled by the purchase.
This bowl, myself, was thrilled and joyous when I learned that I had been purchased by the precious blood of Christ.
Made of clay, shaped and formed by God, though heated, this clay vessel is still fragile and can be easily broken. Imperfect as one can see the flaws in the specs, dents and paint, it is still serviceable by the Creator.
Humble, yet open to reveal its content, which is the glorious gospel of our Lord, to the eternal life-giving mercy and grace of God, the salvation of one's soul, if the recipient will accept it.
Let's be faithful in our service to our Lord, to be willing to be used by Him, in obedience in presenting and living the gospel.
