DESCRIPTION
In 2 Corinthians 4, Paul explains that as Christians, we are to proclaim the light of Jesus Christ in this dark and broken world. As I worked on this piece I knew I was creating a “jars of clay” painting but was not sure what the end result would be. Once I finally gave up, stopped striving and listened for direction from the Holy Spirit, He shifted my focus to creating the treasure. The painting quickly began to come alive!
 
“Though we experience every kind of pressure, we’re not crushed. At times we don’t know what to do, but quitting is not an option. We are persecuted by others, but God has not forsaken us. We may be knocked down, but not out. We continually share in the death of Jesus in our own bodies so that the resurrection life of Jesus will be revealed through our humanity. We consider living to mean that we are constantly being handed over to death for Jesus’ sake so that the life of Jesus will be revealed through our humanity. So, then, death is at work in us but it releases life in you.”
2 Corinthians 4:8-11 (TPT)
