Treasure in Clay Jars

A verse from the Bible that has impressed me recently says "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." (2 Corinthians 4:7 KJV Bible.) In the NIV translation this verse says, "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us."

We are being compared to earthenware pottery or clay jars. God has made us to store his treasure within us. That is a wonderful thing to think about.
