A rich man, dressed in purple and fine linen lived in luxury every day. At his gate laid a beggar, longing to eat the food that fell from the rich man’s table. Then, both the beggar and the rich man die. The beggar is carried to Abraham’s side in heaven and the rich man was carried to Hades where he experienced torment. Somehow, every day the rich man walked past the beggar, named Lazarus. Every day he had the opportunity to see Lazarus’ plight and to use some of his resource to alleviate Lazarus’ suffering. But the rich man never saw Lazarus, at least not really. But, in the Kingdom, invisibility is impossible. As citizens of the Kingdom we’re invited to see, to notice, and to pay attention to the people sitting at the “gate” and who are in need or the people who exist at the margins of our community. We’re invited to notice and move close to them.
