The Least of These: The Biblical Case for Missions to the Poor

By Dr. Steven Merrill

Why Does God ask us to care for those who are difficult to love? A substantial population of the world consists of poor people. Why is that? Wouldn't it have been easier for God to simply equalize the human population in terms of worldly opportunities? Why didn't He simply make everyone equally wealthy? That seems to make more sense to the human mind. It is quite interesting that this is the very approach of those who hold positions of authority in the new world order. Communism and socialism have always promoted the philosophy of equal opportunity and equal wealth. But now, leaders of democratic societies, such as America and Europe, aggressively promote this viewpoint, as well. Many leaders of these countries seek to redistribute the wealth of their nations to equalize the opportunity of their citizens. This seems reasonable, doesn't it. Take from the rich and give to the poor. Make them all the same. Even Robin Hood tried to accomplish that! Wouldn't that be fair and moral? These are very difficult questions, and they will never be answered by the world's best philosophers. Fortunately, God has already supplied us with the answers to these questions in His Word. Christians have these answers at their fingertips. But most of them have not bothered to search for the answers.
