Some of the blessings that we receive are given to us to share with others. Jesus told His disciples, and the Pharisees who were nearby and listing, about "... a certain rich man ... and a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate ... desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table ..." Luke 16:19-31
The rich man lived well, but was tormented in death. The beggar was basically tormented in life, but received a place of honor in death.
The take home lesson is that those of us who have should share with those that have not. We will be judged and have to give an account for the way that we treat the less fortunate poor people that we encounter.
