Wealthy King + Impoverished People = ???

The juxtaposition of wealth and poverty in Swaziland is incomprehensible. A king who builds elaborate palaces for all of his wives just minutes from people who eat grass or go hungry on a regular basis. There have been articles recently about how rich the king really is, and also about how the poverty is impacting the most helpless - the children. In the deepest parts of us, there is an outcry, wanting someone to do more to reconcile this great abyss between the rich and poor. After all, what is the right response to take care of these people?
Yet this lack of action & compassion in this reality on the other side of the world stands in contrast to another king. A King who has much more than any earthly king could ever imagine, a King who has no obligation to share His wealth, riches, or glory with anyone. A King who looks upon an impoverished people who are dying in their own messes, totally helpless to do anything for themselves, and who often don't even know how bad of shape they are in. And this King, who doesn't have to do anything, does the unimaginable. He goes & pays the ultimate price to buy back these people, sacrificing His own wealth and comfort in order to provide for them what they could never earn.
The situation in Swaziland makes the extravagant love of God through Jesus Christ stand out even more. That while we were dead in our sin, totally unable to save ourselves, in a worse situation than we even knew, God lavished His graces upon us, knowing we could never earn it or even begin to pay Him back.

"In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, which He lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight, making known to us the mystery of
His will, according to His purpose, which He set forth in Christ."
~Ephesians 1:7-9
