We Have This Treasure In Earthen Vessels

Here is a very interesting and inspiring passage of scripture that needs very little commentary and just a thought or two.

It is in 2 Corinthians 4:6,7 and it reads, "For God, who said, 'Light shall shine out of darkness,' is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassing greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves..."

Pretty cool, huh? The light shines in the darkness. I remember in the beginning, on the first day of creation that God created light; in fact, He said, "Let there be light; and here was light." (Genesis 1:3) What is unique about that is that the Sun, Moon, and Stars were not created until the fourth day of creation (find this in Genesis 1:14-19).

So what is it that "...shall shine out of darkness?" I submit to you that it was the light of God Almighty. When Jesus walked into a room, even the darkness headed for the corners and the doors.

Jesus is the light of the world, whether you decide to believe it our not, matters not. God spoke and there was light. Nuff said!
