Jesus Was…, 13


~ Jesus Christ Was Living In Poverty While On Earth ~

Passages  ~  “And when Jesus saw great multitudes about Him, He gave a command to depart to the other side.  Then a certain scribe came and said to Him, ‘Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.’  And Jesus said to him, ‘Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head’” (Matthew 8:18-20).

“Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, ‘Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.’  And Jesus said to him, ‘Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head’” (Luke 9:57-58). 

Significance  ~  Although the King of Kings and Lord of Lords Jesus Christ entered our world not only as a human being but also as one without riches or privilege.  He can identify with and fully understand our needs.

the key question:  “Who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15).  This is the most important question you will ever answer.  If you do not answer it, or answer it incorrectly, you have made the biggest mistake anyone can make!
