Earthen Vessels

God did not choose fine china to hold His most precious treasure. He chose jars of clay. The jars are common, fragile, of little value in themselves, and will break sooner or later. It’s what’s inside the jars that makes them priceless.

The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter! Lamentations 4:2

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. 2 Corinthians 4:6-7 ♥
