It is often said that Jesus told the rich to give what they had to the poor.

***********************************************************************
Jesus also told the poor to give to the rich ...to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's.

It didn't appear that Jesus was trying to change Herod, Caesar, the Pharisees, the High Priests ...though He would welcome their change of heart, He likely didn't see it as ripe for the harvest.

There were many starving ...not just physically, but spiritually.

Jesus also said the poor will be with us always ...yet, He was feeding them where they most hungered.  When the thousands who had been listening to Him became hungry ...He took the loaves and the fish, to adequately distribute it.

When following Jesus, we can do much with little also.

We cannot always change the hearts of others, nor should we force them to do what we think they should do.  It serves us best to genuinely search out our own hearts, and do what we feel led to do ...instead of spending all our effort critiquing what others are not doing.
