Trinity 1: The Brother at the Gate
In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, Jesus gives us a sobering picture of indifference. The rich man’s great sin was not open cruelty, but passing by the brother at his gate. In this sermon, we consider how God’s Law exposes our cold hearts, hasty judgments, and selective mercy - and how Christ, who did not pass us by, fulfills perfect love for us, forgives us, and frees us to see and serve the neighbor God has placed before us.
