Christians must treat the poor as Jesus treats us (read on)
God puts a great emphasis on how we treat the poor and the needy around us. We treat the rich and our peers well because of what we hope to get from them, be it benefits, or praise and recognition. But the poor can offer us nothing. They might even demand our time and our resources. But the truth is, how we treat the poor reflects our own character. How does a person treat anyone who, by some of society’s standards, is lower on the “totem pole”? As Christians we must treat the poor as Christ has treated us, with hope, understanding, forgiveness, absolute respect, inclusiveness, love and a servant’s heart.
