Jesus and the Rich

Here in the U.S, the next presidental election will likely be between our current president and a man of extrordinary wealth; possibly reaching $500 million.  Yeshua knew men of wealth in his time. Men who could influence the lives of many because of their wealth. Yehua had little use for them. Being wealthy did not mean you had recieved any special favors from God. In fact, Yeshua had a short and bitting comment on the wealthy. He said that the rich had no concept of the idea of righteousness and peace for all.  He proabably was right. I am afraid we see this all to often today. Things haven't changed in 2000 years.
