Outta sight, outta mind

Posted to Billings' Church's and Newspaper's Facebook web sites: The Henley family thanks Josie, the people who donate the items, and Harvest Church for the opportunity last night you provided for us to act as the hands and feet of Jesus in our local community by sharing food, clothing, and prayers with the homeless or the impoverished. It was fun! Did you know Jesus Christ was homeless or lived in extreme poverty when He was the man-God on earth? “Jesus said to him [a scribe thinking he wanted to follow Jesus], ‘Foxes have dens, and the birds in the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.’” (Matthew 8:20 NET). It is noteworthy that when the King of kings took our nature upon Himself that He chose to live in the disgrace and distress of extreme poverty, instead of the comfort of wealth and material prosperity. I believe He did this to intensify His identification with us when we are at our lowest points in life, meaning it was for our sake that He became extremely poor. What do you think?
