The Rich Poor & the Poor Rich

God describes four types of people living in our world: rich/poor, rich/rich, poor/rich and poor/poor.

By every estimation Jesus Christ would have been considered in poverty by our generation. He was not one who had any financial security. He did not spend time investing in a retirement program. He was not even living with retirement in mind. His sights were always set at a far more distant goal, the heavenly goal of his Father and his will.

Remember, Jesus became poor for us. II Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

One of the most striking contrasts in the Scriptures is that of the Rich/Poor (outside/inside) and the Poor/Rich.
