How do we know that Christ seeks the wealth of His people?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture reveals that Christ seeks the wealth of His people by bestowing His grace, wisdom, and righteousness upon them.

In Esther 10:3, Mordecai is described as 'seeking the wealth of his people,' which serves as a type of Christ's continual work on behalf of His elect. This is further illustrated by Paul in 2 Corinthians 8:9, where he states, 'For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.' This richness entails not only material benefits but chiefly, spiritual blessings and eternal life that Christ secures for His people through His redemptive work. Theologically, this reflects the promise in Ephesians 1:3 that we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.
