Do You Know The Grace?
77 ( 53 | 24 )
We learn four things from this passage
- We are poor sinners
- we are bankrupt of all things necessary for this life
- we are bankrupt of love toward God and all spiritual strength
- we pursued sin at mad regularity and invent ways to hide our sins
- we are as poor as poor can be
- Jesus is rich
- everything we see and experience in this like is but a tiny minuscule fraction of what he could have created if he wanted to
- such is his wealth, he can speak worlds into existence with a thought
- he is in sovereign control all things
- he had wealth before wealth even existed - that being his perfect unmarred fellowship with the Father
- For our sakes, Jesus became poor
- Jesus' poverty was voluntary, premeditated - with purpose and foresight he decided to become poor
- Jesus was a poor man in that he was born in an occupied country and did not have the simple luxuries we are accustomed to in this world
- the Son of Man has no place to lay his head
- to get to his greatest poverty, fast forward to the garden of Gethsemane where he thinks of the cup of divine wrath he will have to drink
- his own creatures then take him captive and he is robbed of his reputation in a farcical trial
- he was beaten and they spit in his face
- they crucified him
- even the Father turned his back on him (his one bit of wealth that he treasured above all was taken away from him)
- Believing sinners have wealth because of the poverty of Jesus Christ
- such is the wealth that we have that there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus
- we will spend an eternity in a new heaven and earth with those who have never been forsaken of the Lord - except One
