Then one day, instead of trying to fit Him into my ideals, I searched the scriptures and was surprised.
It all started when He was a baby. Men traveled from afar to bring Him ultra-valuable gifts.
Then, He comes straight out of the wilderness, finds twelve men, and has them leave their good-paying jobs to follow Him into a ministry that hadn't even started yet.
You might think that they all struggled after that. But we never read of them being hungry. Instead, we read of them caring for the poor along the way.
Apparently, they always had more than enough because one of the disciples was stealing the whole time, and Jesus didn't even address it until the end.
Even when it was time to pay taxes, Jesus just had one of the disciples go grab a gold coin out of a fish's mouth. No big deal.
How about His robe that the soldiers argued over because, even blood-stained, it was of great value?
Turns out, Jesus was the wealthiest man around. It was just hard to see because He invested it all in Kingdom business.
