Through out history there has always been a stratification of wealth, people of means to beggars. Wealth inherently has privilege and those with modest means struggle to cope daily. Most strive to achieve a greater economic status. Frequently those of higher monetary status prejudge those below their financial achievement. This is a hollow assessment in the eyes of Jesus. We are all children of God. Our moral code measures our relationship with Jesus. Humility and forgiveness opens the door for a healthy relationship with Jesus. Confess your sins and accept Jesus into your heart today.

Amen.
