Christ became poor that we might be partakers of the far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” 2 Corinthians 4:17. We are to practice the same self-sacrifice that led Him to give Himself up to the death of the cross, to make it possible for human beings to have eternal life. In all our expenditure of means we are to strive to fulfill the purpose of Him who is the alpha and omega of all Christian effort. {9T 49.2}

Kristus blev fattig, for at vi skulle blive delagtige i »en evig fylde af herlighed.« 2kor 4,17 Vi må praktisere den samme selvopofrelse, som bevægede ham til at lide døden på korset for at gøre det mulig for menneskene at opnå evigt liv. I alle vore pengeudlæg bør vi søge at virke i harmoni med den plan, som blev lagt af ham, der er begyndelsen og enden til enhver kristen dåd.
