You see this even in the Church. People are so afraid economic and political change. Some of us act as if God isn’t in control.

The early Christians were under a cruel authority. They were told to count it joy when they suffered and were mistreated. We just want to be protected from suffering and mistreatment. “What’s best for me and my tribe?” and “What about my rights?” over “What’s best for the least of these,” and “What can I do to make someone else’s life AS TREMENDOUSLY BLESSED as my life is?” We are so blessed materially that would we be able to praise God from the pile of ashes as Job did and as do many Christians around the world? Would we praise Him at all if we didn’t have a nice building and had to meet in secret, underground, and under penalty of death like the early Christians and like so many around the world?

Whatever we do for the hungry, sick and imprisoned, you do for Christ.

But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I don’t go away, the comforting Counselor will not come to you. However, if I do go, I will send him to you. “When he comes, he will show that the world is wrong about sin, about righteousness and about judgment — about sin, in that people don’t put their trust in me; about righteousness, in that I am going to the Father and you will no longer see me; about judgment, in that the ruler of this world has been judged.
