How do we know that Christ considers the poor?

Answered in 1 source

We know Christ considers the poor because He humbled Himself and became a servant to save His elect who are lost in sin.

Christ's consideration for the poor is evident throughout the Scriptures, particularly in His incarnation where He stooped to the level of humanity. Philippians 2:7 highlights that He made Himself of no reputation, taking on the form of a servant. This act reflects His deep compassion for His people, who are spiritually poor and struggling under the weight of sin and death. By identifying with our low estate, as mentioned in Psalm 136:23, Jesus demonstrates His love and mercy. He didn't abandon us in our plight; instead, He actively sought us out by becoming poor Himself, so that we might be enriched spiritually. This understanding emphasizes the depth of His grace and the love He has for those who are abandoned or in need.
