Giving to the Lord and the Poor in Jesus’ Teachings
A sermon on Mark 14 7 contrasts giving to the poor with giving to the Lord. Jesus rebukes disciples for criticizing Marys lavish anointing, saying the poor are always with you, but warns true sacrifice serves the Lord. It urges balancing charity with spiritual salvation through Christ. The author recounts itinerant ministry among the poor, stressing that aiding souls outweighs mere almsgiving and the need to honor Christ in helping the needy.
