Jesus was born into a humble situation. He was born in a shelter for animals as his family traveled to the town of Joseph’s family roots–Bethlehem–to pay taxes. When he grew up, his ministry was not run out of a temple as glorious as the one Solomon had built for God. Jesus had no church building or temple to call his own to shepherd his followers in. He chose to minister out of the fields, to have no home, to reach those who did not fit into the acceptable circles of the religious world. His ministry changed the lives of hundreds during his days of walking on the earth, and millions to this day.
How did he do it? He had little of monetary resources. How did he change the lives of so many?

He knew that the resources of heaven were His. His love, words, and deeds changed the lives of those around him. He showed his disciples to do what he did. He lived ministry, and only needed what his Heavenly Father could provide. We only need what he did.
