But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.
2 Corinthians 4:7
Last Sunday, we had our last day of the class Unashamed, a five-week women’s group study on identifying shame in our lives and living from a place of freedom instead.
Walking in freedom is easier said than done, but it is completely possible when we do it in community and have our eyes fixed on Jesus.
It’s in Christ that we find the truth of our identities. That truth is what we have to cling to so we can come to know and understand who we really are. But we also need other people to help point out that truth – especially when we cannot see it for ourselves.
That’s why, for the last week of class, the ladies sculpted clay jars, and wrote encouraging truths to put inside the jars. This was to help each of them remember that, though we are all imperfect jars of clay, we are also the beloved of God. We have been bought at a price; we are adopted, redeemed, and sanctified; and there are great treasures within us all.
