Treasures in Jars of Clay
I love this title. We are the jars & our treasure is Jesus Christ. How awesome is that? When we invite Jesus in, He actually fills us with His Holy Spirit. So, it's not the outward appearance that is important, it's the inward spirit that gives us value. Beauty will fade, but the eternal Spirit will remain. Kind of makes me want to spend more time on what lasts than what fades away.
Along with this, we are filled with His power. In life there will be trials, tribulations, troubles - but we have nothing to fear, for Jesus has filled us with His life. Death could not defeat Him, so what else do we have to fear? Do we need to water down the Scriptures? Quiet our testimony? Hide out in the dark, afraid of showing others our light? No! In fact, we are to let the Spirit overflow. Let it shine, share it with others. This is not a finite treasure that you must hide for yourself! This treasure grows & multiplies the more you share it.
So, fine faith, strength, and courage in the Spirit. Let your light shine!
