So do you ever see two people who are friends with each other and ask yourself, "What common interest do they share."
Perhaps you see a political party and ask yourself what common interest the members have with the leader of that party?
Now what if in some way that common interest was money?
And let's say that money could be thought of as a scale with a meritocracy being on one end and the root of all evil being on the other end.
An example of a meritocracy principle being the more bags of salt you shoveled and took to the transport the more money you made. Perhaps you got paid $15.95 for a bag of salt. Hence the stronger and faster you worked the more money you made. And perhaps if all around you were crippled up you could get rich very quickly? I mean if they were all born with hunchbacks and hypothyroid eye features? Something like that.
Now on the other end of the scale you had perhaps a disgruntled version of how it was earned? Perhaps their is no way to say it but you thought those who had a lot of it, didn't deserve it. You thought they don't even meet common standards of education. You might therefore call it the root of all evil.
And what would they do to you if you had the courage to say that to them?
Would you ever be able to ride up again after what they decided should be done to you after you said that?
Do you see how this reason firmly supports my belief in Jesus Christ?
Happy Easter.
