But I Don't Want to Be a Clay Jar!

We are made of a most common, everyday, unremarkable, breakable substance-- clay. And yet, what an amazing thought that Christ chose us to carry His Gospel, the Gospel of the glory of Christ--this "light of the knowledge of the glory of God", and that we can show the world that this power is from God Himself.

What kind of vessel would you have chosen to carry this light, God's glory?  Something much more substantial, and definitely more elegant, perhaps? 

What an invaluable treasure we have to carry!  We may not always be happy with our "clay jar", but who would want to miss out on being chosen as a light-bearer?  God knew just Who He needed to do the job.

2Cor. 4:6,7  "For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.  But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."
