Summary
Jesus Christ gave up His place in heaven, His divine privileges, and His possessions to become poor so that believers might gain eternal life and heavenly riches. The sermon applies this truth to encourage generous, sacrificial giving and calls unbelievers to exchange their sin for salvation.
Highlights
Jesus left his royal robes for cut up rags. Jesus left his celestial throne for a cattle trough. Jesus left heaven's splendor for a smelly stable.
The Lord Jesus gave it all up, gave up everything so that you might gain everything that he has to offer and the greatest thing he has to offer you is eternal life.
There's one thing that can't be taken from you. That is the treasure I have in heaven.
