Poor, Rich

Luke 6:17,20-26

And he came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;

And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: "Blessed are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. "Blessed are you that hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. "Blessed are you that weep now, for you shall laugh.

"Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of man! Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets.

"But woe to you that are rich, for you have received your consolation.

"Woe to you that are full now, for you shall hunger. "Woe to you that laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. "Woe to you, when all men speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.

Upon reading the verses, I can conclude that this is about the rewards man will receive when he or she will go to heaven. Jesus tells us here that all our sufferings here on earth will never again happen when we reach the kingdom of heaven. God loves us and all of us who suffered hardships and have gone to numerous trials no matter how hard will reap the rewards when the right time comes, because that is the will of God.

If you were once poor, in heaven you will inherit Gods riches. If you were always hungry, you will never go hungry again in heaven. If someone hates you on earth, on heaven you will be loved by everyone.

The rich people, the ones who did not follow Gods ways, the ones who did not help those who are in need, they will don’t have a place in Gods kingdom. They will become poorer than ever, they will suffer a hunger that cannot be satisfied, and they will hate with such feverous intensity that they will never learn to love another human being again.

We should be humble and kind to every one of us. God put us here in earth, to live, love, and be happy. If everyone is love, we can all live happily.
