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 4:4 (NIV)

Jesus has given Christians a treasure of eternal life. Eternal Life that begins now, not in the future death. So many times Christians are forward looking rather than what God has given to us right now.

Meditate on the verse--God gave us the treasure in "jars of clay." Why does Paul use language of weakness? Jars of clay are fragile waiting to be shattered. Yet, this is the image that is used.

Are we the Jars of Clay? What does Jesus' secret look like in the jars?

I belief that the secret is the eternal life that has been bestowed on us. This is something rare and valuable. No other religion in the world uses the language of right here, right now. God wants to change all of us from the inside, giving way to eternal life with HIM.

I pray that all of you have this secret in your "jar of clay" and share it every chance you get.
