While all humans were made in God's image with equal authority, sin has pushed us to thrive at the expense of another, creating a vast dividing line between the rich and the poor. God saw this in humanity and created laws to make sure humanity took care of one another, but as we can see, that didn't happen. God continued to show this theme when he came to earth as Jesus.

Jamin traces this line through the Bible and then illustrates how benevolent ministry can be messy, but is still essential for Christians nonetheless.
