Power In Earthen Vessels

2 Corinthians 4:6,7

“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of the 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 power in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.”

By His Spirit, God places the treasure of His Son into our hearts as believers. We then become the earthen vessels of His treasure and reflect His light to those around us.

Our reflection of His (God) presence in our lives is related to our connection to Christ. Like any solar panel, we cannot remain charged in darkness, we need the light to be empowered. Therefore, we need to remove anything in our life that comes between the Son and us.

His reflection will be clear in our lives if we keep our eyes on Him and not allow the world to creep in.

The Truth

“I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of the world.” (John 8:12)
