Introduction
Story of Meeting “Jars of Clay”
“We tend to elevate our heroes to a point where they no longer seem to be regular human beings… We tend to do this not only with women & mean alive today, buy also with historical figures & even with men & women written about in the Bible.
When we read their stories, it’s easy for us to raise them to an unattainable level, as if how they lived is completely unachievable for us. But, just like our heroes alive today, they were regular everyday people, just like you and me. They had their faults & failures, joys & Triumphs just as we do. Yet our extraordinary God still found a way to work through them, just as He can with you & me.”
