The border between two countries
can represent an immense contrast.
A citizen who is a pauper by one
nation's standards may vastly improve
his living standard simply by crossing
a border. By contrast, Jesus Christ left
the home of His father in heavin and
entered the domain of sinful humanity.
He exchanged the rights of a king for
the poverty of an earthling. Christ
came to earth not only to pave the way
for men to go to heaven, but to bring
"foreign aid" - the riches of heaven -
to earth.
