Outline:

I. Jesus’s motive – “the grace (charity/compassion) of our Lord Jesus Christ”

II. Jesus’s method – “though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor”

III. Jesus’s mark – “that you through His poverty might become rich”

• GRAB Jesus’s cross (Gal 2:20; Gal 6:14; Matt 16:24-27; Rom 12:1)

• GET Jesus’s life/riches (Eph 1:3; 1 Cor 3:21-23; Matt 7:7-12, Luke 11:5-13)

• GIVE yourself and your riches away in Jesus’s service/kingdom (2 Cor 8:1-9, 9:6-15)

• GAIN enduring fruit and eternal life/glory/joy (Col 1:10, John 15:1-16, Heb 12:2)
