2 Corinthians 8:9 "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich."
So often, riches ensnare their owners. In fact, it's not a stretch to say that often times the "owner" ceases to truly be the owner and instead the riches become master. Praise God, our Lord Jesus Christ did not let His riches own Him!
He truly is our example in all things. Any riches we have on this earth cannot even be compared to the riches He enjoyed in Heaven. Yet it was nothing to Him. He left it all because He loves us. He didn't want Heaven without us.
Are there any riches in my life that I am unwilling to give up? How can I say 'thank you' and follow Christ's sacrificial example today?
