Almost every Sunday since last month, the chairman would read 2 Corinthians 8:9 at offering time during worship:
“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.”
And on last Sunday, 10th of October, Brother Samuel made a special effort in clarifying the highlighted phrase: “ that He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor” to make sure that we understand that Jesus was made poor only when He was hung on the cross, and that He IS STILL rich.
As I was reading my daily Proverbs 13 just now, I came across verse 7,and it described BEAUTIFULLY and confirmed Brother Samuel's statement that Jesus IS STILL RICH even after He was made poor on the cross for our sakes:
Proverbs 13:7
“There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing,
And ONE who makes Himself poor, yet has GREAT RICHES.”
Are you getting ‘HIM' ,Jesus who was tucked away in that short phrase there? Verse 7b described Jesus who became poor on the cross, yet He has GREAT RICHES!!
Wow!!!
Let those who have eyes, SEE Jesus in the scripture and receive LIFE!! Amen.
