For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though
He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty
might become rich.

2 Corinthians 8:9
|
The apostle Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 8:9 that for our
sakes Jesus became poor so that we through His poverty might be made rich. At
the cross, Jesus took all our sin and poverty. He was humiliated, spat upon
and stripped naked. The Roman soldiers even gambled for His clothes.
The One who fed more than 5,000 people, gave fishermen a
net-breaking, boat-sinking load of fish, and who placed the gold, diamonds and
rubies in the earth, took your place of poverty at the cross, just so that you
can take His place of abundance. A divine exchange occurred at Calvary—your sin
for His righteousness and your poverty for His provision.
My friend, Jesus is the
reason you can be the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath. He is
the reason you can be blessed to be a blessing. Put your trust in His presence
in your life and what His finished work has accomplished for you
