At Luke 16:19-31 Jesus teaches the story of Lazarus & the Rich Guy,a story that directly paralells what Jesus had taught at Luke 6:20-21,24-25.It's always fun to hear Christians twist themselves into pretzels trying to prove this has nothing to do with any kind of bias toward the poor and against the rich.Of course not!
Just like it's fun to hear them comment on Luke 18:18-30 where Jesus tells the rich young man that all he now must do is to sell all of his possessions and give the money to the poor,then follow Jesus.Of course,Jesus didn't really mean it.It was just a test of faith or something.Then read Luke 12:32-34,where Jesus had told his disciples the exact same thing.Jesus really meant what he had said.Not just a test...if you're really willing to give up all you have to follow Jesus,then you get to keep it!!No wonder that's such a popular message in capitalist America!!
What do you think?
