He had compassion on them - Christ's attitude toward the poor

"The church and the Christ-follower must answer the question “Am I my brother’s/sister’s keeper?” The suffering of our fellow human beings causes us pain. We may try to hide it, deny it, cover it up, or reason it away, but still the suffering and pain of others cannot leave us completely unmoved. Our Christian faith reinforces that. How can I call myself a Christ-follower when I do not care for my fellow humans? How can I represent the reign of God and not care deeply and practically about the people who are included in His kingdom?"
