For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ...
BIG IDEA: The greatest definition of joyful generosity is in Jesus Christ. Why should our lives be joyfully generous? Because as Christians, we have:
1. The riches of God
that though he was rich,
John 17:5 says, “And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.”
Philippians 2:6 “who though he was in the form of God."
Micah 5:2 "whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days"
Isaiah 9:1 "Everlasting Father"
2. at Christ’s expense
yet for your sake he became poor,
2 Cor 6:10 "as poor yet making many rich"
The poverty of Jesus is seen in such passage as Gal 4:4; Rom 8:3; Col 1:20; Rom 1:3; John 1:14
3. credited to our account
so that you by his poverty might become rich.
Matthew 5:2 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God."
