But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
2 Corinthians 4:7
What is JARS?
JARS Ministries is a faith-based non-profit organization established in 2004. Its vision is based on 2 Corinthians 4:7, which says “We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.”
Why use the imagery of jars?
Every person is a vessel or jar that holds a treasure. These jars are incredible portraits of servants/ministers of God. They are fragile, expendable earthen vessels that God has filled with the treasure of God’s extraordinary power. He puts the treasure of his gifts and his gospel in jars of clay like you and me.
