II Corinthians 4:7 — “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” In this short sermon, we think about what the picture of an “earthen vessel” is meant to convey and what exactly this “treasure” is. We also consider why Paul made this very interesting statement and what it has to teach us. There is an important message for Christian ministry in this little verse, we hope it blesses you.
