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!
