Read Matthew 25:31-46 Mark 12:41 What do you think that Jesus is saying about how we should treat the poor? 3. “No-one can be a slave to two masters, he will hate one and love the other, he will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” (Matthew 6:24)- Is it possible to be rich and a Christian? Discuss (use page 91 of “Religion and Beliefs” to help you). Why should a non-religious person help the poor? Read Luke 18:18-30 again. Why do you think it is difficult for a rich man to enter heaven.
