Scripture
tells us that God made all people, rich and poor (Prov. 22:2). We also know
from Scripture that all people were created in God's image (Gen. 1:26, 27).
More than a nice idea, this truth should impact our interactions with the poor.
By virtue of being image-bearers of God, the poor are:
-
innately
valuable
-
creative
-
relational
-
capable
of loving
-
capable
of responsibility for themselves
-
charged
with dominion
Christians
are responsible for communicating these truths to the poor. This episode
explores how we do-and don't-fulfill this responsibility.
