Jesus, though, wouldn't expect the government to do anything for the poor and sick. He would expect those who call him Savior and Lord to be out doing it. And Good Lord knows I don't do it near enough.

He would probably rebuke those that called him saviour and lord and did nothing to help the poor, and I don't mean helping the poor for the "publicity." And would point to the "hypocrites" that do all they can to help those that are poor, sick, homeless, etc, as examples.
The one thing that I like about the stories of Jesus, is that he was an unjudgemental man, he cared not about what a person did, but was more interested in the person as a person. If only many of the religious organizations of today would stop preaching, and sit and talk with people, then I would have more respect for those religious organizations.
