He Came to Be Poor for Us

Preached by Pastor Matthew Delos Santos

Sermon Summary

In this special Christmas Eve sermon on 2 Corinthians 8:9, Pastor Matt reflects on the profound generosity of Jesus Christ, who, though eternally rich in heaven, became poor for our sake so that we might become rich through Him. He explains how Christ’s incarnation, humble life, and sacrificial death exemplify the ultimate act of grace, addressing humanity’s spiritual poverty caused by sin.

Drawing from the context of Paul encouraging the Corinthians to imitate the generosity of the Macedonian church, Pastor Matt calls us to extend Christ-like generosity during Christmas. This generosity flows not just from material wealth but from the transformative richness of grace we have received through the gospel.

Merry Christmas!

Sermon Text: 2 Corinthians 8:9

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.
