The Condescending Goodness of Christ - Pastor Ekpenyong



2 Corinthians 8:9amp “For you are becoming progressively acquainted with and recognizing more strongly and clearly the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (His kindness, His gracious generosity, His undeserved favor and spiritual blessing), [in] that though He was [so very] rich, yet for your sakes He became [so very] poor, in order that by His poverty you might become enriched (abundantly supplied).”

Christianity is simply taking your place in Christ as He has taken yours.

It is your choice to take His place, as this is what the Father has made us and made available for us in Christ. Refuse to believe any gospel that tells you otherwise.

It is quite easy to be deceived into thinking that you have to work hard to earn whatever you desire of God, however, that is what it is – deception.

You take your place in Christ by believing, accepting and taking possession of all that’s available for you.

Just as our Lord became poor in one stroke, it’s in the same vein that we became rich. Halleluyah!

Literally thinking about this, is to see how our Father condescended to express His love and kindness.

The more you allow this truth to be at home with you, the better for you. You have been removed from the rat race and a life fraught with uncertainty and brought into the kingdom of His dear son whom He loves.

You may have started out in life with deprivation and scarceness, however, the day you came into Christ is the day you were transported into this life of abundance and provision; a realm of partaking of our inheritance with the saints in light.

Let this life that you now live in Christ be your contemplation and experience.

Glory!
