jars of clay

2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.

I'm sure people would have asked you yesterday what has dance got to do with jars of clay?

Well basically we are referred to as “jars of clay” because we are ordinary people the extraordinary God has chosen to use to show forth His glory. More than the ability to dance He has chosen to place within us, we are different (from other dancers) because we have the power of the gospel acting in our lives. We are therefore also reminded that it is “through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart” (2 Corinthians 4:1). I would strongly recommend those unfamiliar with this verse to read 2 Corinthians 3:7 – 4:18 before reading the commentary here.
