And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches. In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord's people. And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us...I am not commanding you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of tohers. For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.

Communism involves, in essence, equal distribution of property
Capitalism involves, in essence, a free platform to obtain property
Christianity involves a selfless sacrifice of property and is, in essence, a backwards rules of exchange.
It is absolutely unequal and absolutely freeing.
Thus is the beauty of Christ.
