Summary
Main message: Unfinishedness and brokenness are not failure but the means by which God's glory is revealed; like clay jars holding treasure (2 Corinthians 4), our cracks let God's power shine, not our weakness.
Key points:
- The enemy lies that being unfinished or cracked equals failure; that's a deception.
- Paul’s image in 2 Corinthians 4: we are clay jars containing treasure so the power is from God, not ourselves.
- The clay-jar experience: afflicted but not crushed, perplexed but not despairing, struck down but not destroyed.
- Cracking and crushing are part of God remaking us — the fractures become windows for God’s glory.
- Our visible weaknesses expose God’s surpassing power rather than our own strength.
Scriptures mentioned: 2 Corinthians 4
