Contradictions

Some claim that the Bible has contradictions (these are usually people who have never read the Bible).  I say it is full of wonderful anomalies: redeemed sinners, impoverished rich people, rich impoverished people, blind people with 20/20 vision, dying to live, giving up everything in order to lack nothing--the list could go on. 
One of my favorite anomalies is jars of clay holding priceless treasure. (I Corinthians 4:7) Imagine the crown jewels on display in a museum, not on a magnificently enclosed glass case carpeted in velvet, but on a crude dirt pedestal. 
We, are indeed dirt and yet if we are Christians, God has gifted us with information so lofty that it can make us the wisest, most emotionally and spiritually mature people on earth--and this without a Ph.D. or even a GED!
We are entrusted with secrets of peace and happiness; with access to true riches and the true meaning of prosperity; with entitilement to royalty; with perspective that lifts us out of this world's worries and fears.  We are unworthy vessels for sure, but we are replete with treasures that must be poured out in order for us to stay full.
