June 28: Read 2 Corinthians 4:7-12

by Brenda Bowers PhD on June 28, 2021

The treasure of eternal life is hidden within the earthen vessels of our flesh. The excellency of the power must be of God and not of us. He does not and will not share His glory with any other.

Jesus is manifest in our mortal bodies so that His life is a light that shines in us as long as we are willing to mortify the deeds of the flesh so that Christ is revealed through us.  This is a mysterious concept that is only understood if we submit our
being to the will and Word of God. 

Paul was trying to explain this to the church at Corinth in his second letter to them. He let them know that the perplexity of being in despair, forsaken, or destroyed is livable because, as God’s followers, we always bear the death of the Lord in our bodies.

If you believe in Christ and in the power of His resurrection, you are among those that are joyful in sorrow, hopeful in sadness, and faithful in uncertainty. Our bodies are the container for the priceless gift of life eternal. Protect this treasure!
