0828 耶穌本是富足

我可以證明,他們是按着力量,而且也過了力量,自己甘心樂意的捐助,再三的求我們,准他們在這供給聖徒的恩情上有分; ……你們既然在信心、口才、知識、熱心,和待我們的愛心上,都格外顯出滿足來,就當在這慈惠的事上也格外顯出滿足來。……你們知道我們主耶穌基督的恩典:他本來富足,卻為你們成了貧窮,叫你們因他的貧窮,可以成為富足。 

哥林多後書 8:3-4,7,9

耶穌本是富足。天上地下萬物都是祂的,然而祂的偉大就在於祂放棄這一切,以至於我們可以擁有最寶貴和最貴重的寶藏——耶穌祂自己。耶穌說……

當我呼召你來跟從我,那就包括委身使用你的資源來吸引萬人歸向我。世上一半的人不認識我。我會發現身為我財富監護人的你,正在做些什麼呢?

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
