“Jesus and His followers noticed that the pagan Romans often slept in palaces while Jesus had no place to lay his head. Knowing that many of His disciples were destined to sleep in cave-like catacombs, Jesus declared the reality that God graciously “makes it rain on the just and unjust,” thus moderating, though not repudiating, the direct correlation of faith and material riches.”
