Treasure in Jars of Clay

“You, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.” 

Isaiah 64:8

“We have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed… struck down, but not destroyed.”

2 Corinthians 4:7,9
