jbw, My lips shall praise Him! I will lift up my hands in His name! Praise the Lord! Matt 26:11 "For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me. Luke 4:18 "THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR....... HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED, 14 Luke 6:20 And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He began to say, "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Luke 16:19 "Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day. Luke 16:20 "And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores, Luke 16:21 and longing to be fed with the crumbs which were falling from the rich man's table; besides, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores. Luke 16:22 "Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried. Luke 16:23 "In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and *saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom. Luke 16:24 "And he cried out and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.' Luke 16:25 "But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony. Luke 16:26 'And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.' Luke 16:27 "And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father's house-- Luke 16:28 for I have five brothers--in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' Blessings to you! Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

The references from the scriptures are fine. But I still don't know why there is so much poverty. You wrote that Jesus said the poor you will have always be me (meaning Him) you won't. So are you telling me that they will always be famines, starvation, etc? | ||||||
4 | I still don't understand | Matt 26:11 | fran1947 | 82417 | ||
if you would look at Matt. 26:9-11 then you might understand a little better. it seems that at this time when the women annointed him, Jesus with the expensive oiontment, one of the deciples complained that it could have been sold and distrubbed to the poor. they were complaining because she did this, but she did it as a memorial to Our Lord and Savoir. these were events leading to his death. Even if they had sold the ointment for much the poor probably would not have received a penny, this was just and excuse for the woman not to use the oil. they had selfish reasons for saying this and Jesus knew this. So I feel that this is why Jesus made the statement "the poor you have with you always". My God ever bless and keep you in his care. |
