We live in jars of clay. But we are not the clay. We are born again by the Spirit of God through the blood of Jesus the Anointed One. He put to death our sins and shortcomings when he died a criminal's death. He buried our sins in the Earth and remembers them no more. When He arose triumphant over death, He made us forever alive and incorruptible.
Yet here we are. Eternal souls in jars of clay. Fragile. Brittle. Breakable. Sometimes broken. Sometimes destroyed and forgotten. But the real you, the real me, we live on and wait to raised to new life with Him forever.
This week, we introduce you to a dear friend who's temporal dwelling is in jeopardy because of widespread cancer. We believe in the power of God. We believe He is Almighty, Un-opposable, and Unstoppable. And we pray for His intervention and healing for our friend Adam. But only God knows for sure what He will do, and we trust Him no matter what because we win either way.
The apostle Paul said, "For to me, to live is Christ. To die is gain." It's a win either way.
But I don't want to lose my friend yet. I don't want his wife or children to lose him yet.
It's beyond hard. It's a soul-crushing ache like trying to stand against a Tsunami.
Yet that is what we do through the Holy Spirit of our Savior. We stand calm in the storm.
