I’ve heard of a few rich people claiming they need to pay taxes, but I’ve never heard of someone who was willing to give up everything to be poor for thirty-three years. What kind of love would do that? If we are honest, we’ll admit it’s not the kind of love we have ever seen. It would be easier for man to say they would die for someone than give up his riches knowing full well he would eventually be rejected and killed.

Most of the time, men are willing to do something unselfish when they believe they will be rewarded. But Jesus loved us so much, he gave up everything so WE could be rewarded. That’s ultimate love!
