Sunday Gospel Reflection #2
The Rich man and Lazarus
This Sundays gospel helped us see what reality is. The rich man represents the rich people in the world, and those group of people don’t share their blessings to the needy. Lazarus represents the poor people in this world. The rich man who had everything on earth was tormented and tortured at the end. On the other hand, Lazarus who had nothing at all went to heaven and got to see the kingdom of God. And he has all the things he need, specially happiness. It shows in this gospel that our things on earth are temporary, and we can’t bring them to heaven. The greatest thing we can achieve is the kingdom of God.
In our society today, there are still rich people who are very greedy. Doing everything just to make themselves very rich. Even if they’re violating the laws. I can see today the widening gap between the rich and poor. The rich people continue to be rich, and the poor people suffer everyday. The poor people pray everyday and never lose faith with God. It’s their faith and trust in God that keeps them alive everyday, and they will be saved and achieve happiness one day.
As a Christian, I try my best to help the unfortunate. I join my schools outreaches and charity help to the poor. I may not do great things, but I do small things with great love. I know that helping the poor is a very hard thing to do. We are not deprived from earthly things, we just can’t have excess because too much of everything is bad. We must not lose faith because in him alone we are saved.
