8:9 This profound incarnational text (see note on Jn 1:14) reflects Christ’s initiative-taking kindness (“grace”) expressed in his becoming “poor.” Christ voluntarily left heavenly riches and glory for earthly poverty (in birth, life, and death by crucifixion) and being made “to be sin” (2Co 5:21). The purpose? That man, impoverished by sin, “might become rich”—abundantly forgiven, reconciled, and blessed by God’s Spirit.
