Christ’s poverty, our riches

This Advent-season devotional by Michael DeVries expounds 2 Corinthians 8:9 to contrast Christ's eternal divine riches with His voluntary poverty in the incarnation, challenging readers to shift their focus from commercial materialism to spiritual riches. The article emphasizes Christological truth—that Christ's assumption of poverty was not a diminishment of His divine nature but a gracious act for believers' spiritual enrichment, inviting contemplation of Christ's self-humiliation during the Advent season.
