TOPIC: HE THREW AWAY TREASURES IN CLAY!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: 2 CORINTHIANS 4: 1 -10

Years ago, a man was digging in caves by the seashore. In one of the caves, he found a bag with a bunch of strong clay balls. It looked like someone had rolled the clay balls and left them out in the sun to dry. They didn’t look like much, but they fascinated the man; so he took the bag out of the cave along with him.

As he strolled along the beach, he would throw the balls one at a time out into the ocean as far as he could. He thought little about it, until he dropped and cracked open one of the clay balls. Inside was a beautiful, precious stone: treasure! TREASURE IN A CLAY BALL? SO HAD HE BEEN WASTING AWAY PRECIOUS TREASURES BY THROWING AWAY THESE CLAY BALLS? He was so excited and began breaking open the remaining clay balls.

Truly each contained a similar treasure! WOW! He found thousands of dollars’ worth of jewels in the 20 or so balls he had left. Then he suddenly remembered: He had been on the beach so many times and he had thrown away maybe 60 or 70 of the balls with their hidden treasure in the clay into the ocean waves. Instead of thousands of dollars in treasure, he could have taken home tens of thousands, but he had just thrown them away! HE THEN REALIZED HOW HE HAD LOST GREAT TREASURE BECAUSE HE HAD DESPISED THE CLAY!

The Holy Ghost has a school course for you today: DON’T LOOK DOWN ON PEOPLE BECAUSE OF HOW THEY LOOK, DRESS, SPEAK OR APPEAR! AND DON’T CONDEMN YOURSELF TOO! It does not matter how you look or feel now, INSIDE YOU IS A SEED OF GREATNESS AND WONDERS WHICH THIS WORLD HAS NOT SEEN! Your God is REVEALING THE TREASURE IN YOU STAGE BY STAGE, DAY BY DAY! Yes! You are in a vessel of clay, but YOU ARE A WONDERLAND FULL OF SIGNS AND WONDERS; A TREASURE IN EARTHEN(CLAY) VESSELS – Vs 7 of today’s scripture! TREASURE IN TRASH?

Don’t judge yourself or others by the external vessel of clay! There is a treasure in each and every one of us! If you take time to get to know others, and if you ask God to show you others the way He sees them, then the clay in them begins to peel away and the brilliant gem begins to shine forth. May we not come to the end of our lives and find out that we have thrown away a fortune in friendships because the gems were hidden in bits of clay! Celebrate yourself because you area TREASURE the world has never seen! Hold on and hold out!
