Jars of Clay
I would like for you to take a moment and do something with me. Step back and ask yourself a question — “Who are we?” Some of you might answer, “we are members of the Church of Christ.” Others of you might think, “we are members of this community.” Step back a little further in your mind and consider this — We are servants of a gracious King, the Lord Jesus Christ. In our text today, Paul has something to say about all of this:
a. Where we seek to place the focus.
b. What we hope to do in all of this.
c. The great trust God has put in us.
Though in the context Paul is speaking about himself and rest of the apostles, the truths he presents apply to us as well. Let’s look at what he had to say as we seek to learn how we can fulfill what God calls us to do.
