7. When Jesus left home and began his ministry, doing good to all, what did He say about his own circumstances? Matthew 8:20.
NOTE: ‘This world has been visited by the Majesty of heaven, the Son of God. “God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Christ came to this world as the expression of the very heart and mind and nature and character of God. He was the brightness of the Father’s glory, the express image of His person. But He laid aside His royal robe and kingly crown, and stepped down from His high command to take the place of a servant. He was rich, but for our sake, that we might have eternal riches, He became poor. He made the world, but so completely did He empty Himself that during His ministry He declared, “Foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay His head.” He came to this world and stood among the beings He had created as a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.’ Medical Ministry, page 19.
8. Who took care of His needs as He travelled from place to place? Luke 8:2-3.
NOTE: ‘The record declares, “He went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with Him, and certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto Him of their substance.”’ Review & Herald, February 3, 1891.
