Village Bible Church - Aurora

We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not us. When you look at this, you're not thinking, wow, that cup is so amazing to be able to hold that diamond. No, you're thinking, wow, Why is David putting something so expensive in something that could end up in the garbage? So for each one of us, that's what this verse says, is to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.
