Though He Was Rich (8 of 10)
Series: CHRISTMAS

II Corinthians 8:9
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is what Christmas is all about. Oh this lovely hymn, Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound. And how sweet the sound that Christmas is because it tells us of God's love for us and His grace toward each of us in sending His Son the Lord Jesus Christ to be our Savior.

III. RICH IN HIS POSSESSION
He was rich in possession. For everything belonged to Him. The palaces of heaven, the streets of gold, that cattle on a thousand hills were His. Who can say today that Jesus Christ was not rich? Before He came to th ...
