To whom much is given, from him much will be required.
Many people live and die in terrible circumstances.
I heard about a boy who never knew his father and whose mother considered him a nuisance. He survived by stealing and going through the garbage behind a food store. He died in his early teens from stab wounds, and nobody cared. I sometimes find great comfort in our Lord's teaching that our degree of accountability before Him is in direct proportion to our degree of knowledge and opportunity. But this truth also disturbs me.
