How many of us still live like this today. We feel secure in our self made live. We eat and drink, go to ball games and drive our luxury automobiles, thoroughly insulated from the poverty and suffering around us. We don t want to get involved we say. There are agencies to help the poor.
People have to be responsible for themselves.
These statements are all true. And love your neighbor as you love yourself. Therefore we are thankful that in Jesus God gives us a second chance every day. When God points out the selfishness of our ways, we have the chance to repent, to admit our failures. There is no help for that rich man in hell.
