“But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. “Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry. “Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. “Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.(Luke 6:24-26 ESV)
We all love blessing, but Jesus goes right into the flip side. Of course we understand that He is not talking about those rich people, but all of us who trust in our stuff, all of us who are sufficiently stuffed in a starving world, all of us so committed to the pursuit of our own happiness that we are oblivious to those around us; all of more concerned about popularity over principle. Reality check!
