Sacrifice Of Grace
Posted by bli63 on February 29, 2008
Our nation has been blessed over the years of its history with great philanthropists who have, out of their great wealth, given lots of money to charitable causes. Sometimes they they have inspired others of us to make donations to charities. However none of them have been so generous as to give up all their wealth, even for causes in which they believed deeply. Few if any of us would give all we have to someone else, even if they needed our help. In contrast , the Lord Jesus had all of heaven and earth at His disposal. He had no lack of anything of value. Yet this Christ of God gave up all that for the sake of creatures who did not know Him or care for Him. He had lived among us with no estate, no wealth, and nor even a place of His own to lay His head at night. He did all this because of the great love He has for each one of us… 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
