Bishop Jake Nails It... Again
Learning the lesson of seeing Lazarus
Lots of us have imagined what it would be like to be invisible. And a
variety of popular authors have helped us to run with that fantasy. For
instance, J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter has an invisibility cloak. He
wears it from time to time to fight the evil forces aligned with Lord
Voldemort.
This sort of invisibility exists purely in fiction. Jesus, by contrast,
tells a parable about a very real kind of invisibility. His parable of
Lazarus and the rich man teaches us about our power to treat others as
if they were invisible and about how this very power always turns
against the one who wields it. (Luke 16:19-31)
