“Forever Poor”

Thursday, October 31, 2013

Where in the Bible is it said, “Take care of the poor; they will be with you always”?

Sincerely,
Philanthropist

Dear Philanthropist,

That reference can be found in Matt 26:11, Mk 14:7, and Jhn 12:8.  Jesus said that we would have the poor with us always, but He wouldn’t always be on this planet.  He said it because some of His disciples were upset that a woman had used expensive perfume to anoint Him (Matt 26:6-10).
