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
"Ye know...." This wasn't a new revelation. It was something already known. But we're forgetful and need to be reminded. Often. Christ gave up everything for you. He gave up Heaven, He gave up the praise and adoration of countless angels, He gave up His Father's presence, He gave up His spiritual essence to don human form, He gave up His life. He willingly, voluntarily sacrificed more than our minds can even conceive for the simple reason that He loved us. You know this. It's nothing new you're reading here. But are you living in the realization of it? We need to remind ourselves what Jesus did for us. And we need to remind ourselves that He deserves more from us because of it.
