Different Worlds
Some years ago before the death of
Mother Theresa, a television special
depicted the grim human conditions that
were a part of her daily life. It showed all
the horror of the slums of Calcutta and her
love for these destitute people. The
producer interviewed her as she made her
rounds in that dreadful place. Throughout
the program commercials interrupted the
flow of the discussion. Here is the sequence
of the topics and commercials: lepers
(bikinis for sale); mass starvation (designer
jeans); agonizing poverty (fur coats);
abandoned babies (ice cream sundaes) the
dying (diamond watches).
The irony was so apparent. Two
different worlds were on display--the world
of the poor and the world of the affluent. It
seems that our very culture here in the
United States, and any other place that has a
great deal of commercialization to it, is
teaching us to live as the Rich Man in the
story of Lazarus. We are occasionally
presented with the images of the poor man
Lazarus at our gate but we are immediately
reminded of the next car we ought
to by and the next meal we should eat. We
are slowly and methodically told
it is O.K. to live our life of luxury while
others live their life of
poverty. But alas, it is not so! Heaven's
reversal of fortune shall one day
awaken us to the fact that we have
separated ourselves from the agonies of
others. That we did not care about others
who suffered. Brett Blair, Sermon
Illustrations, 1998
