He Became Poor, to Make Us Rich

“Jesus, the God-Man, had infinite wealth, but if he had held on to it, we would have died in our spiritual poverty. That was the choice — if he stayed rich, we would die poor. If he died poor, we could become rich. Our sins would be forgiven, and we would be admitted into the family of God.”

         - Timothy Keller, Counterfeit Gods (New York, NY: Dutton, 2009), 67.
