In Jesus's day you could probably say that 80% of the people in the world (I'm making a guess there; I don't know exactly but it could easily be higher) were poor and today it's possibly 30%, and in developed counbtries it's probably just a few percent, depending how you define poor. So it's not been in vain. We have made progress. Can we eliminate it entirely? I suspect Jesus is correct even literally; there will always be some poor based on circumstances and poor personal choices.Mannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396201693030286919noreply@blogger.com
