8th Sunday after Pentecost

Financial Tip: Be Rich Toward God.

Jesus became poor so we would become rich toward God. Jesus became so poor that He

depended on the hospitality of others as He traveled about proclaiming the Gospel while

Judas robbed from the common money bag. How poor did Jesus become? So poor that He

even had nowhere to lay His head. The creator of the world had no place in His own creation.

Jesus was found naked under the judgment of our sins on the tree of death, so He could

clothe you with His righteousness. God possessing us means Jesus, the risen lord of life is

your shepherd, and He will carry you forever.
