TREASURE IN JARS OF CLAY

2 Corinthians 4:1-18

Key Verse 7

“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.”

  1. Read verses 1-6. What attitude did Paul have as he carried out the ministry of the new covenant? (1-2) Why is the gospel veiled to unbelievers? (3-4) Who was the focus of Paul's message? (5) How does God’s light shine in the hearts of believers? (6)

  2. Read verses 7-12. Why did God put this treasure (light) in jars of clay? (7) How was God’s surpassing power revealed in Paul's practical life? (8-9) Why did Paul always carry, in his body, the death of Jesus? (10-12)

  3. Read verses 13-18. Why was Paul confident about living a victorious life? (13-14) What were the outcomes of Paul's believing life? (15) What perspective should we have despite our momentary troubles in serving the gospel? (16-18)
