Like Lazarus, we are poor beggars at the doorstep of our Lord. But unlike the rich man in the parable our Lord is gracious and generous. He binds up our wounds by forgiving our sins, and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
And unlike the rich man in the story this morning who ignored Lazarus day after day and refused him all even a scrap of bread from his table; day after day, our Lord richly feeds us with his own body and blood in the bread and wine of Holy Communion.
He invites us into his home to share in his abundant and never-ending feast.
