YES!! JESUS HUNG OUT WITH THOSE WHO WERE LIKE HIM. HIS SACRIFICE OF LEAVING HIS PLACE IN GLORY WAS SAYING YES TO BEING POOR. “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that THOUGH HE WAS RICH, yet FOR YOUR SAKE HE BECAME POOR, so that you THROUGH HIS POVERTY MIGHT BECOME RICH.” [2 Corinthians 8:9] HIS SACRIFICE WAS TO MAKE FOR US A PLACE IN THE GLORY REALM THAT HE CHOSE TO LEAVE FOR A TIME. THE KIND OF RICHNESS HE LEFT TO BE BORN OF A WOMAN IS THE RICHNESS HE WISHES FOR US. “GOD WILL GIVE YOU A GRAND ENTRANCE into the ETERNAL KINGDOM of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ WHICH WILL BE RICHLY/ABUNDANTLY SUPPLIED FOR YOU.” [2 Peter 1:11] JESUS HAD NO TROUBLE HANGING WITH THE RICH AND SHOWERING THEM WITH GRACE, BUT SO FEW HE ENCOUNTERED COULD SEE PAST THEIR WORSHIP OF MAMMON TO WORSHIP HIS FATHER AND RECEIVE HIS KINGDOM AND THE PROMISES OF ETERNITY. THE CENTURION HAD TO HAVE BEEN A MAN OF MEANS AND OF STATUS, BUT HE HUMBLED HIMSELF IN APPROACHING JESUS IN HIS NEED. “And JESUS SAID TO THE CENTURION, "Go; IT SHALL BE DONE FOR YOU AS YOU HAVE BELIEVED." And the SERVANT WAS HEALED that very moment. [Matthew 8:13] Love this, Brian Simmons!! THANK YOU!! PEACE!!
