The Treasure!

2 Corinthians 4:7-10

⁷ But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. ⁸ We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; ⁹ persecuted, but not abandoned;struck down, but not destroyed. ¹⁰ We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

I have read these scripture verses many, many time. As a matter of fact, I have considered verses 8-10 one of my favorite scripture passages. Maybe that is why I missed verse 7! 

Last Saturday morning I was reading it on-line on Our Daily Bread. As I read through the scripture passage that was with the devotion verse 7 spoke to me. I know that in the past I have sometimes wondered what this treasure was that I would be holding in a jar of clay? Saturday morning it was one of those 'ah ha' moments! We are the jar of clay and Christ living in us is the Treasure!!! Not sure how I missed this for so long!

I simply Love those 'ah ha' moments!
