Matthew 6:19, Luke 12:15
'Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth. A man's life
does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.
The poor widow
Jesus saw a lot of rich people putting
their coins into the treasury,
bragging about it, then along came a
poor widow who put two coins in.
Jesus said ‘ Look this poor woman has
put more in than all of you, for you
put in you spare change, but she is in
poverty and has put in all she has”
Meaning: Even the poor can help
each other, tiny amounts worth
a lot to God. ‘ Build riches in
Heaven’

Key teachings
At the end of the world God will judge people on
their behaviour & the choices they have made.
God will separate the good from the bad like a
shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
On his right will be the GOOD (sheep). They will be
with him in heaven.
On his left will be the bad (goats). They will be sent
away from him to hell.
God judges us on how we treat our fellow humans.
As we are all created in His image.
Helping The Poor
Christians who know Jesus’ story about
the Final Judgment could be helping the
poor because they believe:
• that by helping those in need, they are
helping Jesus himself;
• it will help get them into heaven;
• it will help keep them out of hell.
A religious person should never be rich.”
