sometimes people can, out of their own insecurity, do things that are deceptive to make themselves or even their spirituality look better. We try so hard to impress each other by trying to demonstrate how cool we are. Yet living the life of a christian is not about that. We are but jars of clay - nothing special, weak, easily breakable in and of ourselves. We have nothing to boast of ourselves. But what we have to boast about is what this plain jar holds. And we are jars filled with the precious Holy Spirit. Sometimes Christians may seem like losers. Sometimes we are being made fun of for what we believe and some are being persecuted even to the point of death. And even as they are killed people will still call them fools.. Yet even though this frail jar of clay be crushed we have something that can never be crushed.
as we sang yesterday in "Trading My Sorrows"we are crushed but not destroyed. Yes the song is from this passage.
maybe you are feeling beaten down because of your faith. Stay strong for though we as jars of clay are weak - He is strong.
