Jesus Was Poor But Rich In Spirit by xtivin(m): 5:04pm On Mar 11, 2017
Jesus choose not to be rich but he has the ability to exploit nature if he chooses. A rich Jesus would not feed 5000 with 5 loaves and 2 fishes in matt 14:13-27. A rich jesus would not send for another man's donkey at the triumphant entry, A rich Jesus would not be harassed for his tax. Whenever jesus is in physical need, his riches in spirit was always sufficient for his needs. Beware of false teachers and prophets

To feed 5000 people with bread and fish wont cost anything less than 1million naira.

Who carries that amount of cash around? grin

Jesus was not poor!
First he was born from d tribe of kings.
Second Jesus' mother was invited for a marriage in cana, in those days poor people were not invited for richmen's ceremonies
Thirdly who own d house dat d roof was opened and d palsy let down, and now who will repair d roof. I
Fourth do u know dat other disciples didnt notice dat Judas was stealing from d purse. Now if dat money was small how wont they notice?
Lastly D greatest soldiers on earth at dat time were casting lots for his garment, was that garment dat cheap?
Now bro Jesus wasnt poor

It's common for soldiers to cast lot over garments of prisoners those days irrespective of status, Jesus was born from the tribe of kings yet his parent could not afford a proper delivery house?,the wedding at cana could never be a rich man wedding because no rich man wedding will lack wine at the middle of the wedding. Jesus only had 12 disciples,the word treasury can never be used among just 13 people,its just mis representation of words, if the had that much in the said treasury why would Judas still be sad over the woman that perfumed jesus feet with expensive stuff?, why would jesus still have to get money from a fish?

I forgot to state, If you were a soldier and happen to witness Jesus mighty powers those days, even a woman touched his garment and was made whole,won't you will struggle to get the same garment?
His disciples could not even afford a tomb,it took a rich follower to do thatm
Again if you read your bible well,that garment that lot was cast for was worn on Jesus by herold, Luke 23:8-11

Sir you are correct. Of course, Jesus (as a man) could have been wealthy, but He chose not to be.
Could He have been trying to leave an example for us to follow....?
Now if you're a Christian who's been blessed with financial wealth, then it was not given to you for just you & your family to enjoy. You are supposed to bless others also.
The principle is to have a servant's heart.
