Jeuss thrives in being first and foremost close to God, so he is poor all along.
I personally LOVE material comforts. I wonder who doesnt? Believe me, some people dont; the ascetes. lets all have ascetic eras in EACH of every lifetime on eart, okay? This will bring us close to God real quick. Jesus was no fool and he chose a poor man life as a saviour. I chose wealth.
