Jesus tells us another parable this week, the story of the rich man who had good things in this life but was tormented in the next and Lazarus who suffered in this life but received comfort in the next. When we separate ourselves from others here on earth – when we neglect the poor, the sick, and the needy – we create a deep chasm between them and us that will follow us into the afterlife. So, what do we want the next life to look like? Will we choose to suffer eternal torment because we’re too selfish to care for others? Or will we choose to be generous with the things we have and fill in any chasms that develop before it’s too late?
