We Are Cracked Pots

God's Exceptional Choice  Out of Slavery - Into Nationhood The Call of Gideon Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5)  2 Corinthians 4:1-7 The Voice 4 Since we are joined together in this ministry as a result of the mercy shown to all of us by God, we do not become discouraged. 2 Instead, we have renounced all the things that hide in shame; we refuse to live deceptively or use trickery; we do not pollute God's Word with any other agenda. Instead, we aim to tell the truth plainly, appealing to the conscience of every person under God's watchful eye. 3 Now if our gospel remains veiled, it is only veiled from those who are lost and dying, 4 because the evil god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers. As a result the light of the good news, the radiant glory of the Anointed—who is the very image of God—cannot shine down on them. 5 We do not preach about ourselves. The subject of all our sermons is Jesus, the Anointed One. He is Lord and Master of all. For Jesus' sake, we are here to serve you. 6 The God who spoke light into existence, saying, "Let light shine from the darkness," [a] is the very One who sets our hearts ablaze to shed light on the knowledge of God's glory revealed in the face of Jesus, the Anointed One. 7 But this beautiful treasure is contained in us—cracked pots made of e clay—so that the transcendent character of this power will be clearly seen as coming from God and not from us. For Reflection Moses encountered God through the Spirit on that mountain. The Spirit now, as a fulfillment of the new covenant, dwells in the hearts of us believers and continually transforms us. Through this Spirit-enabled encounter, we experience a new way of living and therefore, come to resemble Jesus as they reflect His glory. The treasure that is God resides within us. Those who are able to see and hear are moved by the light of the Holy Spirit that shines through the cracked vessels that we are.  Pray Pray and let the Holy Spirit shine through you to bring light to all. Pray and do what you were meant to do, develop a right relationship with God and act upon it. Forward to a friend Sign up for our mailing list!
