The Parable That Exposes Every Christian’s Heart — Rich Man and Lazarus

About this sermon

Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory Forever! In this heartfelt homily for the 20th Sunday after Pentecost (Fifth Sunday of Luke), we reflect on one of the most powerful parables told by our Lord Jesus Christ — The Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19–31). This sermon invites us to open our eyes and hearts to the suffering around us and reminds us that the sin of the rich man was not wealth, but a heart that had grown cold. We are called to compassion, mercy, and love — to see our own Lazarus at the gate, whether it be a struggling friend, a lonely family member, or even our own neglected soul. 🙏 Message Highlights: How spiritual blindness hardens our hearts Why love and mercy are the path to Heaven Recognizing “Lazarus” in our daily lives Serving Christ through acts of compassion A prayer for open eyes and open hearts May this reflection awaken your soul to love more deeply and serve more faithfully in Christ. “Who is lying at your gate?” 📖 Luke 16:19–31 — The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus 🕰️ Timestamps 00:00 – Glory to Jesus Christ!
