But, who are we? Paul says we are “earthen vessels”(NKJV, NASB95), “jars of clay” (ESV, NIV84). Long ago, Job asked God, “Remember now, that You have made me as clay” (Job 10:9). You and I carry about in our frail mortal bodies a light derived from the central source of light, Jesus Christ. Paul said that it is in order “to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us” (2 Corinthians 4:7b, ESV)
Let’s be the hands of Jesus by pointing and guiding others to this righteousness of which Jesus speaks. You and I can make the lives of those around us and ultimately this community better if we will do that. However, we must not forget. We cannot lead others to a place where we have not gone ourselves. Do you hunger and thirst for this righteousness of which Jesus spoke? Are you seeking first God’s kingdom and His righteousness? If not, you will never reach a point in life where you are truly satisfied, because eternity beckons in your heart.
