How did Christ become poor so that I might become spiritually rich? - Poverty - TouchPoints

2 Corinthians 8:9You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich.

Christ emptied himself of heaven’s riches, coming to earth as a baby. He chose to live simply and not in great wealth or prestige. He died with nothing so that we might inherit the vast riches of eternal life.
