Jesus Appeals For Aid To Victims Of A Great Storm
As Jesus taught, a man stood forth and said, “Teacher, may I speak?”
And Jesus said, “Say on.”

And then the man spoke out and said, “A storm upon the sea last night wrecked many fishing boats, and scores of men went down to death, and behold, their wives and children are in need. What can be done to help them in their sore distress?”

And Jesus said, “A Worthy plea. You men of Galilee, take heed. We may not bring again to live these men, but we can comfort and assist those who looked to them for daily bread. You stewards of the wealth of God, an opportunity has come. Unlock your treasuries. Bring forth your hoarded gold. Bestow it with a lavish hand. This wealth was laid aside for just times as these. When it was not needed, behold, it was yours to guard. But now, it is not yours, for it belongs to those who are in want, and if you do not give it, you simply bring upon your heads the wrath of God. It is not charity to give to those who need. It is but honesty, honest service. It is but giving men their own.”

Then Jesus turned to Judas, one of the twelve, who was the treasurer of the band, and said, “Bring forth our treasure box. The money is not ours now. Turn every farthing to the help of those in such distress.”

Now, Judas did not wish to give the money all to those in want, and so he talked with Peter, James and John. He said, “Behold, I will save a certain part and give the rest. That is surely enough for us, for we are strangers to those in want. We do not even know their names.”
But Peter said, “Why, Judas, man, how do you dare to think to trifle with the strength of right?
The Lord has spoken true. This wealth does not belong to us in face of this distress, and to refuse to give it is to steal. You need not fear. We will not come to want.”

Then Judas opened up the treasure board gave the money all. And there was gold and silver, food, dresses and clothing in abundance for the needs of the bereaved.

Be Considerate In Generousity

The children of God must give with due considerations. Do not lavish your money and wealth on those who are not covenant-keeping. And do not give out what belongs to God, to the outsiders, the poor, the needy and the beggars, who reject he words of God, because they have excluded themselves from the covenant of Yahweh.

Jesus Explains The Mystery Of Life And Karma
A lawyer said, “Teacher, if God rules the worlds and all that in them is, did He not bring about this storm? Did he not slay these men?
Has He not brought this sore distress upon these people here?

And was it done to punish them for crimes?

Repent Or Perish

There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, "Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish or suffer the consequences of your sins, in this present or future lifetime. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish or suffer the consequences of your sins, in this present or future lifetime."
