Meditate
On
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 Divine Exchange
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 on
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!
