The rich man lived a good life. He had fancy clothes and lots of food.\u00a0 Lazarus did not have anything. He was sick and had sores on his body.<\/p>\n<p>The rich man ignores Lazarus and separated himself from everyone.\u00a0 Even though Lazarus was poor and sick, he still made certain to connect to others.<\/p>\n<p>When Lazarus died he went to heaven, but the rich man went to hell.<\/p>\n<p>Since the rich man was separated from everyone on earth, he is separated from everyone for eternity. He did not care for others when alive, he did not talk to anyone or serve others.<\/p>\n<p>Serving others is serving God.\u00a0When you don&#8217;t care for others, you disconnect yourself from God and will be alone, even before you die.<\/p>\n<p>We learn in this parable that no matter what we do in our lives, or where we go, we always need to care for others and serve those who are in need.<\/p>\n<p>Everything we have is God&#8217;s.

El hombre rico vivi\u00f3 una vida plena. Ten\u00eda ropa elegante y mucha comida. L\u00e1zaro no ten\u00eda nada. Estaba enfermo y ten\u00eda llagas en el cuerpo.<\/p>\n<p>El hombre rico ignor\u00f3 a L\u00e1zaro y se alej\u00f3 de todos. Aunque L\u00e1zaro era pobre y estaba enfermo, se asegur\u00f3 de conectar con los dem\u00e1s.<\/p>\n<p>Cuando L\u00e1zaro muri\u00f3, fue al cielo, pero el hombre rico fue al infierno.<\/p>\n<p>Como el hombre rico estuvo separado de todos en la tierra, estar\u00e1 separado de todos por la eternidad. No se preocup\u00f3 por los dem\u00e1s en vida, no habl\u00f3 con nadie ni sirvi\u00f3 a los dem\u00e1s.<\/p>\n<p>Servir a los dem\u00e1s es servir a Dios. Cuando no te preocupas por los dem\u00e1s, te desconectas de Dios y estar\u00e1s solo, incluso antes de morir.<\/p>\n<p>En esta par\u00e1bola aprendemos que, sin importar lo que hagamos en la vida o ad\u00f3nde vayamos, siempre debemos cuidar de los dem\u00e1s y servir a quienes lo necesitan.<\/p>\n<p>Todo lo que tenemos es de Dios. Mantente conectado con el amor y el coraz\u00f3n generoso de Dios y siempre ser\u00e1s recompensado.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bfC\u00f3mo puedes mantenerte conectado con Dios y con los dem\u00e1s?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mira al &#8220;L\u00e1zaro&#8221; en tu puerta: Hay mucha gente sufriendo o sola a nuestro alrededor. Busca a los necesitados \u2014los hambrientos, los enfermos, los pobres, los aislados\u2014 y recon\u00f3celos como tus hermanos y hermanas en Cristo.<\/li>\n<li>Act\u00faa con compasi\u00f3n: El hombre rico fue condenado no por su riqueza, sino por su indiferencia y ego\u00edsmo. En lugar de pensar solo en ti mismo, s\u00e9 compasivo; piensa en los dem\u00e1s y ay\u00fadalos.<\/li>\n<li>Empodera, no solo des: La caridad no se trata solo de dar ayuda b\u00e1sica (comida, ropa, etc.), sino tambi\u00e9n de tener confianza en uno mismo, en la fe y en la vida. Busca maneras de ayudar a otros a educarse, tener oportunidades o tener una vida plena.<\/li>\n<li>Evita ser egoc\u00e9ntrico: El pecado del hombre rico fue creerse el mejor y merecer lo mejor. S\u00e9 humilde en tu vida. Ten una actitud como la de Cristo. Sirve a los dem\u00e1s, gana almas y con\u00e9ctate con Dios y con los dem\u00e1s.<\/li>\n<li>Act\u00faa con urgencia: La historia sirve como una llamada de atenci\u00f3n. No esperes para mostrar bondad o hacer buenas obras. \u00a1EL TIEMPO ES MUY CORTO! La vida es fr\u00e1gil.<\/li>\n<li>Realiza obras de misericordia: Obras de <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NAMYqBRR98s&amp;t=323s\">misericordia corporales<\/a> (alimentar al hambriento, vestir al desnudo, etc.) y obras de <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QLfpJ5Q2XCE\">misericordia espirituales<\/a> (cuidar a los pobres).<\/li>\n<li>Apoya a las organizaciones: \u00danete o apoya a organizaciones que trabajan directamente para servir a los necesitados.<\/li>\n<li>Visita a los solitarios: Dedica tiempo a visitar a los pacientes en hospitales o a las personas en hogares de ancianos. Ofrece amistad y demuestra que te importa, ya que a menudo se sienten olvidados.<\/li>\n<li>Comparte lo que tienes: S\u00e9 generoso con tus posesiones y tu tiempo, ayudando a quienes lo necesitan, incluso con peque\u00f1as cosas.<\/li>\n<li>Ve a Cristo en los pobres: Al servir a los pobres, puedes ver y servir a Jesucristo como tantos otros lo han hecho.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Rich Man and The Poor Man \/ El hombre rico y el hombre pobre Vea la versi\u00f3n en espa\u00f1ol a continuaci\u00f3n.
