The Danger of Indifference

On this Easter Sunday, we're challenged to confront a sobering truth: knowing isn't enough. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus serves as a powerful reminder that our spiritual lives aren't defined by what we know, but by how we live. Like the rich man who called Abraham 'Father' yet neglected Lazarus at his gate, many of us claim faith but fail to act on it. This isn't a problem of ignorance, but of indifference. We know the stories, we can recite the verses, but do we allow them to transform our hearts and actions? Jesus' words echo through time, warning us that even witnessing a resurrection may not be enough to convince those who refuse to listen. As we celebrate Christ's triumph over death, let's examine our own lives. Are we merely hearers of the Word, or are we doers? The great chasm described in the parable isn't just a future reality - it's a warning for today. While there's still time, let's bridge the gap between our knowledge and our actions, embracing the living water Christ offers freely.
