TREASURE IN AN EARTHEN VESSEL

"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves."- 2 Corinthians 4:7

In the 1st and 2nd century, a common practice was to conceal or hide precious treasures in jars of clay which had little or no value or beauty in it of it-selves. In the same way, our God often bypasses the wise; the mighty, and the noble of this World in favor of the weak and despised, that he might make them the privileged bearers of His precious Gospel. If your wondering whats the reason for this call or choice its simple-so that no flesh may boast before God, just as it is written, "Let Him who boast, boast in the Lord"-1 Corinthians 1:29,31
