come from within himself; it comes only from God. Man is like a jar of clay in order that the all-surpassing power might be from God, and not from ourselves.
Earlier (1:8), he wrote of being ‘under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure’.
Now, in exact answer, he writes of God’s power which surpasses the weakness of the human body.
It is, apparently, part of God’s plan that the power is not from us.
Had this priceless treasure been contained in a strong and permanent body it would have proved a fatal combination for proud and sinful man.
Like Adam, he would have reached for the heavens to be a spiritual superman, a ‘god’, a reference perhaps to Paul’s opponents (cf.
12:6–7, 11).
We come to appreciate how powerful God is only when we acknowledge the certainty of our own death.
This, apparently, had been Paul’s experience.
Human life is short, its form easily defaced and its fabric destructible in a second.
It is an earthen jar, a cheap clay pot.
Hughes comments that ‘the immense discrepancy between the treasure and the vessel serves simply to attest that human weakness presents no barrier to the purposes of God, indeed, that God’s power is made perfect in weakness’.
