'Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said, “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.'" Mark 10:21.
There are many ways in which Christians respond to the poor. They will pray for them, and they will often try to help in any way that they can.
