2 Corinthians 4:5-7

Preaching Christ as Lord 2 Corinthians 4:5-7: In Paul's preaching he preached Jesus Christ as Lord and he did not exalt himself. The subject of all his preaching was Christ as Lord and Paul as servant. Christ was the head of the one church and Paul was a servant in the one body! Our Creator God was able to dispel the physically darkness in the beginning. "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." (Genesis 1:2-3) Now God is shining in our hearts to let us know the glory of salvation that is seen in Jesus Christ.

Paul said the precious and powerful gospel is stored in frail human vessels. These preachers of the gospel are weak and feeble. They have bodies that are decaying and dying. They are altogether unworthy to hold a treasure so invaluable. This is proof that the real power of the gospel comes from God and not from us. The divine Light of the Gospel is a precious treasure that came form Jehovah. Man is able neither to produce nor give power to the gospel. This could have only been accomplished by God.
