2 Corinthians 8:9
2 Corinthians 8:9 (New International Version)
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.
MY COMMENTS: Praise the Lord for the gift of grace. This undeserved goodness and kindness toward us was freely given without regard to our merit or worth when Christ died for our sins. When Christ came to earth He became poor but He lost nothing. As believers when we follow Him we lose nothing and gain everything.
Let’s pray we learn to die to ourselves daily so that we may gain our souls; that we willingly give away riches here on earth in order to receive heavenly treasures; and that we become humble so that we may to be exalted one day, in God’s time.
