For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you might through his poverty become rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9
Citizens of the New Kingdom have a King who does not ask anything from them that he was not willing to do himself. He willingly gave up his status in heaven, his glory with the Father to become of servant of men in this dark world. He willingly submitted to death so that we can have eternal life as we become reconciled to God.
When citizens of the New Kingdom give up earthly possessions and desires for the Kingdom of God, we are only in a very small way following the example of our King who gave up everything for us.
