    There are two types of people in this world: those who relate to the beatitudes of Jesus, and those who do not. The beatitudes are not rules or laws, but something that causes us to react with whatever spirit is driving us within.

     | 7,761 views

    Jesus has just said, "No one can serve two masters; you cannot serve God and money" (Luke 16:13). Then Jesus goes on to share his parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31). Paul's words to Timothy (I Timothy 6:6-19) support Jesus' claim.
