Here is the final
example. Read this story. Here, in the story of the poor man Lazarus, the principle of neighborliness is obliterated. No longer is it the right thing even to assuage the thirst of the suffering in such a slight way.

These stories in juxtaposition unlock the entire mystery that I have posited.

Over the next few posts, I will attempt to explain what these stories teach us and finally I will attempt to answer the question you may be asking: "So what?" In other words, how does this apply to my life as a Christian?
