0828 耶稣本是富足

我可以证明,他们是按着力量,而且也过了力量,自己甘心乐意的捐助,再三的求我们,准他们在这供给圣徒的恩情上有分; ……你们既然在信心、口才、知识、热心,和待我们的爱心上,都格外显出满足来,就当在这慈惠的事上也格外显出满足来。……你们知道我们主耶稣基督的恩典:他本来富足,却为你们成了贫穷,叫你们因他的贫穷,可以成为富足。 

哥林多后书 8:3-4,7,9

耶稣本是富足。天上地下万物都是祂的,然而祂的伟大就在于祂放弃这一切,以至于我们可以拥有最宝贵和最贵重的宝藏——耶稣祂自己。耶稣说……

当我呼召你来跟从我,那就包括委身使用你的资源来吸引万人归向我。世上一半的人不认识我。我会发现身为我财富监护人的你,正在做些什么呢?

0828 JESUS was RICH

JESUS was RICH.  All things in the heavens and in earth are His, yet His greatness lies in His giving it up so that we might have the most precious and costly treasure—Jesus Himself.  JESUS says…

When I call you to follow Me, that includes a commitment to use your resources to draw all men to Me.  Half of the world does not know Me.  What will I find you, the custodian of My wealth, doing about that?

“For I testify that according to their ability and beyond their ability they gave of their own accord, begging us with much entreaty for the favor of participation in the support of the saints…But just as you abound in everything, in faith and utterance and knowledge and in all earnestness and in the love we inspired in you,, see that you abound in this gracious work also…For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich”

2 Corinthians 8:3-4,7,9
