Was Jesus Poor?
Jesus was NEVER poor, oh, I take that back, Jesus became poor at one time, and that was on the cross!!!
Isa 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
Isa 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: THE CHASTISEMENT OF OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM; and with his stripes we are healed.
The word, "PEACE", it means, "welfare, that is, health, PROSPERITY, peace". When did Jesus become poor so that we would have abundant prosperity?
2 Cor 8:9 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.
Jesus became poor on the cross for us, but he was NEVER EVER poor himself in his earthly life!!!!!!!
On the Cross, Jesus took our poverty to provide us the riches of His grace. He became poor that we might be rich, which means abundant provision!
When did Jesus take on sin, sickness, the curse, and poverty? On the Cross! He did this so we could receive health, righteousness, blessing, and prosperity. He took the punishment that belonged to us so that we could receive the blessings that belong to Him.
How would you like to provide food for 12 Apostles, and most likely their families too? No need to have a "TREASURER" if they were poor. Poor people begged at the gates of the cities. Jesus never begged for anything or any of his Apostles. Jesus had many "MINISTRY PARTNERS" covering all his costs.
Luke 8:1 Soon afterward Jesus began a tour of the nearby towns and villages, preaching and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom of God. He took His twelve disciples with Him,
Luke 8:2 along with some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases. Among them were Mary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven demons;
Luke 8:3 JOANNA, THE WIFE OF CHUZA, HEROD'S BUSINESS MANAGER; SUSANNA; AND MANY OTHERS WHO WERE CONTRIBUTING FROM THEIR OWN RESOURCES TO SUPPORT JESUS AND HIS DISCIPLES. (NLT)
Do poor people have their own home? Did Jesus have a home?
Matt 4:12 When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he went back to Galilee.
Matt 4:13 He left Nazareth and MADE HIS HOME IN CAPERNAUM on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. This was in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.
Matt 2:1 And when he returned to Capernaum after some days, IT WAS REPORTED THAT HE WAS AT HOME.
If someone does not have a home, how can it be reported that Jesus was at home? Sounds like he a beachfront property!
Jesus was buried in a "rich" man's tomb so that prophecy would be fulfilled..
Isa 53:9 He had done no wrong and had never deceived anyone. But He was buried like a criminal; He was put in a rich man's grave. (NLT)
When Jesus said "BLESSED ARE THE POOR", (Matt 5:3) it was NOT because they were poor that they were blessed, but that they didn't have to be poor anymore!!! Being poor is a part of the “curse” of the law, which Jesus redeemed us from!
Jesus was not lavishly rich, neither was he poor. He had everything needed to accomplish his Father will on earth. He did have enough to give to the poor as was his usual custom. The clothes he wore when he was crucified were high enough quality that the roman soldiers gambled to see who would get them instead of tossing them aside. The "prosperity" preachers today have taken prosperity to mean something else other than what it was intended for. Having all your needs met whether physical or spiritual for your mission on earth is prosperity. You can take any teaching from the Bible and take them to the extreme which is never a good thing.
Pro 30:7 O God, I beg two favors from you; let me have them before I die.
Pro 30:8 First, help me never to tell a lie. Second, give me neither poverty nor riches! Give me just enough to satisfy my needs.
Pro 30:9 For if I grow rich, I may deny You and say, "Who is the LORD?" And if I am too poor, I may steal and thus insult God's holy name.(NLT)
