(In His Steps)- why was the bishop filled more and more with a sense of mingled terror and self-accusation?

The bishop was thinking about his congregation, and the people with whom he'd worked.... those deendent upon alcohol, the unemployed, the suffering. His terror came from a place within him.... a place that felt guilty that he had never known the type of suffering others experienced.

"..... the easy, comfortable life I have lived, fills me more and more with a sense of mingled terror and self accusation. I have heard the words of Jesus many times lately: 'Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least My brethren, ye did it not unto Me.' And when have I personally visited the prisoner or the desperate or the sinful in any way that has actually caused me suffering? Rather, I have followed the conventional soft habits of my position and have lived in the society of the rich, refined, aristocratic members of my congregations. Where has the suffering come in? What have I suffered for Jesus' sake?"
