Our Riches At Christ's Expense
By: Robert A.Searles
“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.” 2
Corinthians 8: 9 (KJV)
I wonder if we who call ourselves
Christians have ever really contemplated the abundance of the love
and grace of our wonderful Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who was
infinitely rich and abounding in all that he had created; he who had
an inexhaustible supply of grace; and inexhaustible supply of love;
and inexhaustible fellowship with God the Father, should put it all
aside for awhile, and become the poorest of the poor for our sake, so
that he would not enjoy all the beauty and splendor and wonders of
heaven without us. He had no place on earth to lay his head so that
we might have mansions in our father's house forevermore. He became
sin for us so that our sins could be forgiven. He was separated from
God the Father for a season so that we could be reconciled to God our
father. He allowed himself to feel pain, suffer hunger, and
experience death, so that we might experience the joy and the
goodness of our Father's house. Oh! Let us consider the abundant
riches of his grace in that he hath done all this for us, and let us
be eternally grateful.
