The Knowledge of the Glory of God
2 Corinthians 4:7-15Psalm 125: 1-2ab, 2cd-3, 4-5, 6Matthew 20:20-28Treasure in Earthen Vessels “We have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us” (2 Cor 4:7). Another translation puts it this way: “We have a treasure, then, in our keeping, but its shell is of perishable earthenware; it must be God, and not anything in ourselves, that gives it its sovereign power.” The contrast is striking: treasure held in earthen vessels.
