2 cor 4:16-18 Transformation never ends.

2 cor 4:16-18 Transformation never ends.

We started at a wedding and six stone Jars that were filled with water by servants who obediently filled them with water. In side those jars Jesus turns the water into wine. Jesus turns our water into wine, our death into life, our sinfulness into righteousness.

 

1.      Jars that were old, hard, chipped in places, and deep.

a.      We continue to struggle with our sins

b.      We fall, we feel disappointed, we feel like failures. We feel broken

c.       2 Cor 4:8-10a

d.      Romans 7:18-25 pauls struggle.

e.      The woman crawling on her hands and knees to finish a marathon.

f.        Falling forward. Football players stretch out toward the goal even as they fall.

 

2.      But we have this treasure in Jars of clay

a.      To show that the power is God’s not ours.

b.      Vs 16 says we are renewed day by day.

c.       2 cor 3:18

d.      Rom 12:1&2

 

3.      Press on Phil 3:12-16

a.      Romans 6:5-7

b.      Romans 8:31-39

c.       The wedding rings.

Jesus is still turning our water into wine, even in our broken, chipped and even dirty Jar. The transformation never ends, it is new every morning. And the great things we see God doing today they are just a start.
