Hogwash: Jesus Was Poor

June 11, 2025 by Kade Young

"Although He was rich, Jesus became poor so that we could become rich."

People use this verse found in 2 Corinthians 8 to justify poverty in the life of a Christian.

This is hogwash in every direction.

First of all, this scripture is hyper clear that Jesus paid the price for us to escape poverty.

On top of this, think about what Jesus considered poor.

He received ultra-valuable gifts at His birth. He provided the best wine at a wedding. He fed 5,000 people. He paid taxes with a gold coin out of a fish's mouth.

Apparently, this is what poverty looks like to Jesus. (He did come from streets of gold, after all.)

What Jesus calls poverty, we call well off. Anyone who can feed 5,000 people is doing quite well.

Just imagine what "rich" must look like to Jesus. And remember, He told us to do greater works than He did.

What are we waiting on? It's time to position yourself for great wealth.

Grab my book, God's End-Time Wealth Transfer. It will help you think differently about money so you can receive and release the end-time wealth God is pouring out.
