There should be some equality

Of course, I don’t mean your giving should make life easy for others and hard for yourselves. I only mean that there should be some equality. Right now you have plenty and can help those who are in need. Later, they will have plenty and can share with you when you need it. In this way, things will be equal. 2 Corinthians 8:13-14 NLT ---- ' there should be some equality,' Look around you. Ok, look further. Look to a neighbouring country. Actually, look a bit further. Paul, the apostle, wanted the Corinthians to look across the sea and consider the needs of the Christians in Jerusalem. Paul, was asking them to bring a little equality to the life of others who lived far away. Are you ignoring the needs of others? Are you unconcerned about a bit of financial equality in the world wide family of God? Paul says you don't have to make life miserable for yourself, ' I don’t mean your giving should make life easy for others and hard for yourselves....' But have you really considered the hardship of your Christian family around the world? Do have any compassion? Especially now, think of the needs in the church around the world. And don't forget the Christians in need around the corner either.
