DOES He who made all things need anything? No, in one sense, as we read in Acts 17:24-25; but He became a needy One, as we shall see.

Christ was a needy Man when on earth.

  1. He had no home in which to be born (Luke 2:7).
  2. No place to lay His head (Matt. 8:20).
  3. No money to pay the tax (Matt. 17:27).
  4. No comforter in Gethsemane agony (Matt. 26:40).
  5. No friend to plead for Him when He was falsely accused (Mark 14:50).
  6. No God to befriend Him when suffering for sin (Matt. 27:46).
  7. No grave of His own in which to be buried (Matt. 27:60).

Christ became a needy Man that He might meet our need. “Though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich” (2 Cor. 8:9).

He had no home, that we might have an eternal inheritance (1 Peter 1:4).
He was poor, that we might have all spiritual blessing (Eph. 1:3).
He had no comforter, that we might have the Comforter (John 14:16).
He had no friend, that we might have an abiding Friend (Proverbs 17:17).
He was made sin, that we might become the righteousness of God (2 Cor. 5:21).
