" 9 You know how full of love and kindness our Lord Jesus Christ was. Though He was very rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, so that by His poverty He could make you rich."
When I think of the word "rich" two things come to mind instantaneously: 1) A pile of gold, and 2) Chocolate. However, both are completely worthless. It's hard to wrap our minds around that sometimes, especially the chocolate part for me. We have richness that goes beyond any amount of chocolate or wealth: salvation & eternal life through Christ. God gave up all of His riches to become human; He became poor for our benefit, the benefit of the poor, so that we may gain the richness of salvation & eternal life with Christ. And not only that, but He gives riches in other ways as well, through peace, joy, comfort, knowledge, faith, wisdom, etc. All of which are worth more than any amount of money or chocolate could purchase.
