who is poor? who is rich? how is it that some of the richest people in the world appear to be the most depressed and unfulfilled and those who spend their lives in run- down, pest- infested homes seem to be the most content and satisfied ones of all? the answer is actually quite simple: riches do not define our wealth; Christ does. just like the age- old question of how is a generous non- Christian doomed to Hell when a serial killer accepts Christ on his deathbed and reaps the riches of Heaven, our realities are not defined by worldly situations, but by our relationship (or lack thereof) with the Lord Jesus Christ. you can often see poor villages in third world countries and wonder, "where is the poverty here?" or observe a rich family living in an oversized mansion and think, "what do these people really have?" most people don't ever receive what really matters and what really matters doesn't cost a cent. what is wealth? wealth is discovering a life more fulfilled by Jesus Christ.
