Give to the homeless

 Give to the homeless
“Give to anyone who begs from you,” said Jesus, according to one translation, “and do not refuse anyone who wants to borrow from you” (Matthew 5:42).

Many people have reservations about giving money to beggars, but there are other ways of doing what Jesus says here…

1. Give something instead of money: a sandwich, some chocolate, a hat or scarf for the cold.
2. Buy a copy of the Big Issue.
3. Give money – or even time – to organisations helping the homeless to help themselves. Here are some Christian organisations that do this…

Emmaus
Oasis
Shaftesbury Society
London City Mission

“Feeding the hungry is a greater work than raising the dead” (St John Chrysostom).
