On Service to Our Neighbors
In my view
there is nothing so frigid as a Christian who does not care about the salvation
of others. It is useless to plead poverty in this respect, for the poor widow
who put two copper coins in the treasury will be your accuser. So will Peter
who said, 'Silver and gold have I none,' and indeed Paul was so poor that he
often went hungry and without the basic necessities of life. Nor can I plead
humble birth because the apostles were of humble origin and from obscure
families. You cannot claim lack of education because they too were illiterate.
And do not plead sickness because Timothy suffered poor health and was often
ill. All of us can be of service to our neighbor if only we exercise our responsibilities.
