All Things Spiritual-It’s A We Thing

The church is under attack today, but it was under attack when the disciples were told to go to Jerusalem and wait on power from on high. The church will prevail no matter what, as the apostles were comforted by Jesus. The treasure of the church is in earthen vessels, with the excellency of the power being of God, not of us. The apostles suffered greatly, but their words mean a lot. The light of the Son of righteousness is more glorious than the light commanded to shine out of darkness. The grace of God created such a light in the soul that those who were sometimes darkness are made light in the Lord. We, as ministers, do not preach ourselves, but rather, we are earthen vessels, weak and frail creatures subject to passions and infirmities. God has ordered that the weaker the vessels are, the stronger his power may appear, so that the treasure itself should be more valued. The gospel of Christ has an excellency of power to enlighten the mind, convince the conscience, convert the soul, and have the heart to rejoice.
