Most of the people who sought out Jesus were:
A. Very well to do.
B. Mostly land owners.
C. Poor people who feared being in debt.
D. Roman statesmen who found Jesus' message very interesting.
The answer to this week's ACE of Hearts is C. Jesus attracted many poor people to himself because he had real understanding and compassion for those who had lost their land and were in debt. The majority of people in this region of the world during the life of Jesus and afterwards were very poor having lost thier land to those who had political and economic power. Consider Jesus's prayer that he taught his disciples: "Give us this day our daily bread..." and "forgive us our debts as we forgive those who are indebted to others.
