Ralph Wardlaw, Congregationalist, reflects on Ecclesiastes 5:8-20; James 2:5; and Psalm 72:4. He urges against oppression because Jesus, King of Zion, has largely chosen the poor as his subjects.
When you hear of the poor, do you think of “God’s people”, or do you protect your wallet? Which way are your faith leaders driving you?
How can you avoid oppression on one hand, and favoritism on the other?
