Jesus became poor for us!

Jesus, God incarnate, became poor, humbling Himself beyond our comprehension. If we could be translated to the streets of Calcutta and could take on the form of a destitute beggar, dressed in rags, our journey into poverty would in no way compare to His. From glory beyond understanding, to the fashion of a man, is a journey that only eternity will reveal. Why did He do it? He did it for us! Oh, what a wonderful Saviour -- what a glorious Lord -- what unsearchable love!

Jesus identified with poverty and we must too. God has chosen the poor to be rich in faith. He also dwells in poor believers waiting for our response. He declared so clearly "Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me." (Matthew 25:40)

Rejoice in this truth! God gives us opportunity to physically minister to Him. As you help the poor through FARMS you truly do it unto Him.

God's richest blessing be yours in Christ Jesus our Lord!

Love in Christ,
