No Longer a Slumdog Likewise, nothing can change this terrible fate of yours; it is sealed” (see Luke 16:19–25). Obviously, I have paraphrased the story Jesus told in Luke 16. Please don’t misunderstand; the rich man did not go to hell simply because he was rich. If we look through the Bible, there are many people like Abraham, Joseph and David who were all exceedingly rich, even ruling kingdoms and dynasties, and they were completely devoted to God. Their riches did not lead them to their eternal destination. Likewise, it was not poverty that sent Lazarus to heaven. The reality is, it is not the physical or the obvious externals that become the reason why one goes to heaven, but rather a relationship with God manifested in choices made. The rich man’s uncaring attitude toward the poor and suffering revealed his life apart from God. If he knew God in reality and walked with Him, he would have cared for Lazarus. It is plain throughout the Bible that God doesn’t want us to ignore the poor, the defenseless, the hungry or the hurting. Look at Acts 10, where we read the story of a Gentile named Cornelius, a devout man who feared God. Two additional things are written about him. He prayed continually and gave alms generously to the people. The inward heart of Cornelius, the devout, God-fearing part, was displayed outwardly in his generosity. God sent His great apostle Peter specifically to meet with this Gentile and share the Gospel with him. God is sad when He sees His people living selfishly, only concerned about “me and mine.” It especially hurts Him whenever Christians close their eyes to the pressing needs before them. Are we like the rich man My prayer is that we will all take 64
open your eyes this warning seriously. How many more cars, clothes, toys and trinkets do we really need before we wake up and realize that half the world goes to bed every night with empty stomachs and naked bodies Turn through the pages of this book. Look at the faces of these beautiful children God is weeping over. The Lord is looking for those who will share His heart. Open your eyes and look at the reality that is before you. Remember what Jesus said, “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me” (Matthew 25:40, emphasis mine). This means that whatever we do for the least of these, whether good or bad, it is as though we have done it for Christ Himself. In other words, the beggar Lazarus sitting neglected in front of the rich man’s gate was, in reality, God lying there. When we hear about the millions of suffering, hurting children in the world, let us not look the other way. Each one represents our Lord Himself. Jesus Cares Over and over in Scripture, we recognize God’s heart for those who have no voice, for the captives and the oppressed. There is a divine passion for them, a heavenly desire for their well-being, because God prizes them highly and His heart breaks to see them suffer. The Scripture is crystal-clear about God’s heart for children. The best place to look is at Jesus, because He is the exact representation of the Father’s nature (see Hebrews 1:3). Jesus Himself 65
