'There are two ways to live: by the rule of
self-interest or to live by God’s rule; to live in relationship to God and
others or to live to use others for the benefit of self. When Jesus speaks of
‘the poor, the hungry, and the weeping' and 'the rich, the full, the laughing’ he is not setting an arbitrary dollar figure
by which we can discern rich from poor. Instead, he distinguishes these two
ways of living: to use others for money and power or to use money and power for
others.'
