the Jesus of all three (income) classes

In last night's Christmas Eve service, it struck me that Jesus Christ was a member of all three income classes.

He left (and returned to) the Wealth of Heaven in order to minister to us through His life, death, resurrection, and the Gift of the Holy Spirit.

He was born into a poor family-- to two teens with only two coins to rub together for an offering (Lk 2:24; Lev 12:8).

He was almost surely a middle-class artisan as he matured in his career as a carpenter.
