TREASURE INEARTHEN VESSELS

• 2 Corinthians 4558

4
Something To Think About!

• The theme in 2 Corinthians is ministering the
  gospel, and every believer shares in a call to
  minister. From the moment of the new birth, life
  for all Christians becomes a ministry. It is no
  longer an aimless existence to satisfy ourselves
  but a ministry for the glory of God and the
  blessing of others.

KEY VERSE
2 Corinthians 47 But we have this treasure in
earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power
may be of God, and not of us.

• Lesson Objectives
• To understand that it may be Gods will for us to
  experience pain and suffering

  of crises

  that will count for eternity

• While it is true God reveals Himself through His
  work of creation, we must also remember that the
  voice of creation is limited. It sings of the
  power of God, but its choirs fall silent on the
  note of redemption and grace. God also
  condescends to reflect Himself through His
  children. That is what Jesus meant by announcing,
  Ye are the light of the world (Matthew 514).

• This passage focuses on one of the fundamental
  differences between Christians and
  non-Christians. The Holy Spirit uses the lens of
  Scripture to bring spiritual and eternal things
  into focus for saints. But this unseen world is
  beyond the view of the unredeemed, who are
  unequipped to see such spiritual things.

THE ETERNAL HOUSE WE EXPECT 2 Corinthians
51-8 A New Body to Come (1-4) Mark 1458
Romans 823 An Earnest From God (5) Romans
811 Present With the Lord (6-8) Philippians 123

• By all standards, heaven is the most onderful and
  beautiful place imaginable. What else would we
  expect when we consider that it is designed and
  built by the great architect of the universe? It
  surpasses our realm of experience. But the thing
  that really makes it heaven is the fact that our
  Savior is there and we will be at home with Him.

• QUESTIONS FOR STUDY AND DISCUSSION
• 1. What gave Paul the willingness to endure tough
  circumstances in performance of his ministry?
  Does that same motivation belong to every
  Christian?
• 2. How is it possible for Christians to preach
  ourselves? What is the cure for this?
• 3. What is the treasure that Paul refers to in
  47?
• 4. How do you reconcile 2 Corinthians 48-10 with
  the contemporary idea that Christians dont
  suffer? What did Paul say was the point of his
  suffering?
• 5. What did Paul mean in 53 when he wrote of his
  desire to not be found naked?
• 6. How does faith differ from sight?
