What does the Bible say about the condescension of Christ?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible reveals that Christ, though rich, became poor for our sake to make us rich through His poverty (2 Corinthians 8:9).

The condescension of Christ is beautifully articulated in 2 Corinthians 8:9, where we learn that our Lord Jesus Christ, despite being rich, willingly became poor for our benefit. This expresses the profound mystery of the Incarnation, showing how the eternal Son of God humbled Himself, taking on the frailty of human existence. His divinity did not cease; rather, He embraced our humanity and lived a life marked by poverty and suffering. Through His self-denial, we are granted spiritual riches that far exceed any earthly wealth, emphasizing the divine exchange that took place at the cross: our sins for His righteousness.
