THE RICO AND LAZARO
A new spiritual vision on the wealth and the spiritual attitude of the heart of the man
The Lazaro name has as origin the' chance and is related to: the Gentleman has aided, the one that is aided by the Gentleman, also is related to which he aids.
It is necessary to define the difference between the wealth of our spirit and the wealth that we receive from the Spirit of God. First I am based on the cult, in this situation the king of our mind is I; he does not leave Christ reigns in him. For it he must have a voluntary change of mind of the person, who uses east repentance or change of mind to voluntarily yield the throne to the Gentleman and to accept Her reign in her life; He is better king than we ourself, he loves to us and he knows what we do not know, and is the fort, invincible and the eternal Almighty. It has overcome the death because it is the giver of the life, we we cannot.
The spiritual poverty is just as humility, but the wealth is just as the egoism and pride. However, in the spiritual plane we will get to be truly rich with the blessing of the Gentleman, if we received Him to Him, but this wealth is received in wisdom and knowledge of God that causes that of us alive water rivers”, so that we are generous, that we share the things of the Gentleman with which they listen, are hungry of God and although they are rich, and this flow “is important, always are arranged to listen a brother that brings its treasures of privacy of the Gentleman, to share them with that abren their hearts before these revelations that Santo gives us anywhere in the world to the Spirit. Besides sharing the material goods with which they need.
The major of the wealth that is against God is, then, the inherited one by the parents, the nation and the customs, and the religion; for that reason the Gentleman speaks to Abraham giving him an order to him of spiritual life: … he vetoes of your earth and your relations, and the house of your father, to the Earth that I will show to you. Genesis 12:1. Within this earth where Abram dwells, the call friend of God, before becoming Abraham, each of us who we are its friendly, God wants to us to free of the inheritance that are in her, the religion, the political affiliation, the customs and a long etc. The man must reconstruct itself, something that many already does by themselves, but in that personal work they must include/understand that their foundations must be the mind of Christ, not hers own one. The Word of God contains the Spirit of Its mind and an unremovable building explains like constructing on solid everything to us, but, if the government of that person is not in the hands of the architect and Creator, it cannot work well.
In order to enter us in the spiritual dimension of this study we will pay attention to a type of wealth: the religious wealth, that causes that the person at issue acts with as blind expositions as what the Jews to their own Mesías raised denying to him, recriminating all act to him of health, love or any other with so putting in front his traditions and orders, it did not seem to heal Saturday to them well. But also the nonJewish ones do the same with their religions. To this we on a daily basis see it situation in people who react foolishly before the presentation of the Gospel, not even want to listen, they hide in which or they know, and do the same the faithfuls of different Christian religions or no. These rich ones are not conscious of their spiritual poverty a time leave this finite dimension.
Another example of wealth, but in this economic case, is the one of the governments of the countries of the first world, that see die to the Third World, as to Lazaro and they do not do anything, like did the rich one, for that reason the presidents of the rich countries that does not end this situation, (according to NGOs 30,000 children die to the day), will undergo the same luck that the rich one, as well as those that they comprise of his governments, and will see many of these poor men of the Third World in Abraham, because we have it to the salvation by the work of Jesus Christ for all the Earth nations, but the attitude of heart of each is the one that abre the door to us of the mercy of God, the mercy, the charity and the love of God to receive by the faith that salvation. This the rich ones lack that lets die to the poor men, is more kill, them to obtain the resources of their countries, almost always in agreement with the leaders of those countries.
Nevertheless there are many rich ones in the world today, and the history, that have donated great amounts to the poor countries. An example is the founder of Colgate, of its same name, that began donating a 10% to end up donating but of 50% of its gains, another present case is the one of Bill Gates with its millionaire aid for the treatment of AIDS. If, by all means that is fiscal lowering of duties and serves to obtain a good image, but the one that needs is not going to ask on these subjects but to thank for the work.
We must occur same, our time, listen others, play with the children, with our children, to be rich not wanting to be the protagonists, not being wise in our own opinion, taking example from Jesus, who being the King, came humble to serve, washing our feet to us.
The Gentleman calls incircuncisos of heart and ear because we did not listen to Him Him nor we are kind to ours around; yes, we must even listen the children, and to those of which we thought that they are not very shining, because to all the Gentleman uses to be spoken, for that reason we must be kind, in alert, previous request to the Spirit Santo so that it leaks what comes from God and we reject what no. This attitude represents what I will call the Tithe of the meat, the heart and the ear, as teaches the Scripture to us: … 27 the fool of the world chose God, to shame the wise people; and the weak thing of the world chose God, to shame the strong thing; 28y vile of the world and the despised thing chose God, and what it is not, to undo what is, 29a aim of which nobody is boasted in its presence. 30Mas by him you in Christ are Jesus, who has been made us by God wisdom, justification, sanctification and .redemption; 31para that, as he is written: The one that glory, glorie in the Gentleman. 1Corintios: 1.
We must because to decimate our mind like signal for God, to begin listening to him with the purpose of to arrive at the fullness of Christ, to yield the 100% to him of our soul.
Because the Tithe, as much the economic one as the spiritual of our mind is of God, and It calls thieves to us, we have robbed to him, the nation everything, the humanity, to read Malaquías 3, 10% of the annual budget of the nations would only end the poverty, he would spread to the Gospel of the salvation and the moral of God in the world, and so many other projects that are to the liking of our creator and Yah-Shuah rescuer the Mesías, but I am afraid that the man will not do this, but we waited with patience the coming of Their eternal Kingdom.
Therefore we have two attitudes: the one of to be rich or the one of poor man, and this second is the one that benefits to us in front of the Gentleman because it says to us: … Fortunate the spirit poor men because of them it is the kingdom of God. Mateo 5:3.
And Which is the reason that the man, in the best one of the cases, when decides to be constructed from zero, ends up verifying how his own work falls over the years? Then, we found it to the answer in the Bible, Jesus Christ is the King of kings and Señor of Sirs. This shows to us that we must do to Him King to him of our castle, which will cause that we reign with Him and we pruned to share the new life in Its presence, because we are the queen with whom the King house, yes its town, its church, its body; we are the queen for the weddings of the Lamb of Apocalypse.
Some rich personages in the Bible:
Balaam was rich because it did not listen the angel of the Gentleman, until the mule spoke to him. Numbers 22:28.
Job was rich man until it lost everything and poor man in spirit was done accepting to God. Job 42:4.
The rich Young person was right as far as the law, when Christ asked what it needed to inherit the eternal life, proves his heart asking to him that he sells what has and the one of the poor men, he becomes sad in fact by his wealth but what had to understand is that was come off its own justice and took its cross and would follow Christ. Marks 10:21.
Zaqueo was a rich publicano, but although also it justified myself in his works, era of sorry heart and Jesus says to him that he was a man who although was lost, like all, by his generous heart, Jesus brought the salvation to him. Lucas 19:1
BIBLICAL TEXT ON THE RICO AND LAZARO
LUCAS 16
19Había a rich man, who got dressed purple and fine linen, and made every day banquet with splendor.
A rich man. There am any person of any time, race here or economic situation, rich or poor economically, but that before God behaves with nonsense, great power, every day gets dressed in its ideas, of purple in its religion, and fine linen, its right actions, to others of with its form to think, do not accept that nobody corrects to him, does not consider its fellow, but its wisdom or spending power or directive and moral is considered powerful by. El/la perfect Job.
20Había also a called pauper Lazaro, who was thrown to the door of that one, full of sores, 21y longed for to satiate itself of the breadcrumbs that fell of the table of the rich one; and the dogs even came and they licked the sores to him.
Lazaro, a simple, poor man as far as his own car considers, not because she is a person without was worth, but because like his Teacher, he has refused to itself to dedicate itself to the Gospel. He is to the door of the rich one, his fellow, brings the Gospel to him with the hope from which he receives to Jesus Christ like his rescuer. Lazaro is because a man of good will.
The breadcrumbs are the pieces of the bread of God that reject the rich ones, that is to say, in his moral or religion they do not consider necessary to eat the small great keys that give the hidden spiritual revelations in the Word, for our spiritual growth. Lazaro hopes to satiate itself in his heart to see the rich one receive and to include/understand these revelations, Rep them, but the Gentleman warns to us: … 6No you give santo to the dogs, nor throw your Rep them in front of the pigs, it is not they pisoteen that them, and they become and they break to you… Mateo 7.
Allegorically the dog is an angel of Satan that barks to us and it threatens to us biting to us if we left outside the way of the Law of God. He is a public prosecutor like the devil that accuses to us if we do not go in the way of the Law of God. Christ says that when we are in the new Jerusalem the dogs will be outside. That when one already walks with Christ, no longer the dog needs who barks to him, although continues doing it, to which we will reprimand in the name of Christ. These come to lick yagas to him, and these are the ailments of the loads of the ministry that these dogs are in charge to make us remember to try that we get tired of our work.
22Aconteció that died the pauper, and was taken by Los Angeles to the sine of Abraham; and it also died the rich one, and was buried.
That great difference in the death of both, Lazaro is taken in a cohorte by Los Angeles like somebody guest to palace, nevertheless the rich one is buried. Christ in his death, after his resurrection returns to the sine of the Father.
23Y in Hades raised its eyes, being in torments, and saw by far Abraham, and Lazaro in its sine. 24Entonces he, giving voices, said: Abraham father, ten mercy of me, and sends to Lazaro so that he wets the end of his water finger, and refreshes my language; because I am tormented in this flame.
Hades is the place in the spiritual dimension where we go after the physical death of the body. Abraham represents our Father, God, and Lazaro to the safe man by Christ, with a humble heart before God, even people of any culture that has lived in front of God in the hope of Its justice, which now they are with Christ. Rich, the one that is lost when going to its place, that is to say the situation where its reign no longer serves, burning fire in its solitude and impotence, nothing know that dimension, and cry out seeing itself in the poverty, but this is not comparable to which it had Lazaro, but eternal. It cries out that one helps him that one that never received aid of him, to that never listened to because it brought the truth to him, that one that did not use the cleverness to press its fellow and to become richer. The rich one did not consider its fellow but now it cries out to this one so that it aids to him in a new dimension, in which the poor man Lazaro was already expert when she is in the Earth, now the wisdom of the rich one is rejected, has changed the situation.
Lazaro also represents Christ, Who comes in humility hoping that we receive to him in its redeeming work in the Cross, has not scrimped to humiliate before us the rich ones in sins, but when dying he returns to the sine of the Father.
25Pero Abraham said to him: Son, acuérdate that you received your goods in your life, and Lazaro also the evils; but now this one is consoled here, and tormented you.
But God said to him: acuérdate that you received goods, that is to say that Christ paid by you, that the brothers in the Gentleman preached to you, put their lives by you for presentarte the Gospel of the salvation and to take your loads in their priesthood, but you did not accept, and Lazaro, a disciple received the evils, the loads of the yoke of Christ, had been to his cross every day, afflicted his soul in oration and bore the loads of the other brothers, besides helping the physical needed ones and spiritual, Lazaro Christ, was crucified, escarnecido, humiliated by our sins, by our wealth, now is consoled along with all those that are welded of Christ.
26Además of all this, great sima is put between us and you, so that those that will want to happen from now until you, cannot, nor to happen there here. 27Entonces said to him: I request you, then, father, who you send to him to the house of my father, 28porque I have five brothers, so that she testifies to them, in order that they also do not come to this place from torment. 29Y Abraham said to him: To Moisés and the prophets they have; óiganlos. 30Él then said: No, Abraham father; but some will go to them among deads, will regret. 31Mas Abraham said to him: If they do not hear to Moisés and the prophets, they will not be persuaded either although some will rise of deads.
The abyss, a bottomless described well in Apocalypse, the fire lake and sulfur that is the death second hopes to him. What terrible situation, the answer of the Father is forceful. The rich one in its spiritual ignorance, requests a resource prohibited by God, the communication with deads. Despite it is informed into which the obstinate man in his own personal wealth cannot change not even with supernatural resources, did not do many nor when God became meat and lived between us, making the miracles in front of them, also as Pharaoh in Egypt before the plagues followed in his obstinacy; therefore the unique way is the Word of God, to believe God and to give glory him, and to believe God includes to accept the Gospel, to receive to Jesus Christ like its personal rescuer. It is necessary to preach by love the fellow.
CONCLUSION:
Abraham, the call “friend of God” Santiago 2,23, is the example to take from the person who accepts, according to God, to reconstruct its life, to leave everything what it is not of God, to adopt everything what He gives us. To leave our own wealth and to show humble what Lazaro to us so that it is God that guides to us. In this way we can find the hidden treasure of God and to be ambassadors of the Gentleman for our fellow.
In our brother Pablo we can find the situation of that they militate in I exercise of Christ, is similar to the description of Lazaro: 10Nosotros we are foolish by love of Christ, but prudent you in Christ; weak we, but strong you; honorable you, but despised we. 11Hasta this hour we suffer hunger, we are thirsty, we are naked, we are slapped, and we do not have mulberry fixes. 12Nos we tired working with our own hands; they curse to us, and we blessed; we suffer persecution, we supported and it. 13Nos defame, and we requested; we have come to be until now like the dreg of the world, the remainder of all. 1Corintios 4.
We finish with Biblical texts that make us meditate on the wealth, they will change and us to arrive at the blessing of God on this vitally important subject in our lives. It does not only read it with the literal sense in the economic thing, tries to apply it to his spirit and to his own knowledge:
Proverbs 11:28 The one that trusts its wealth will fall; But the right ones will turn green again like branches.
Proverbs 28:11 the rich man is wise in his own opinion; But the understood poor man escudriña.
proverbs 30:8 Vanity and lying word separate from me; Not me DES poverty nor wealth; Mantenme of the necessary bread; 9No is that it satiates to me, and denies, and says to you: Who is Yahweh? Or that being poor, it steals, and blasfeme the name of my God.
In this text the necessary bread is due to understand like what every day teaches the Gentleman to us in the spiritual. If we are satiated we thought that we know everything to it, and this envanece, if we are hungry only has to pray and to read the Bible, to visit the brothers, the patients and the relatives, to love God and the fellow and will see as it feeds his soul besides the one on the others and the one of God.
Mateo 6:24 No can serve two gentlemen; because or it will detest to the one and it will love the other, or it will consider to the one and it will despise to the other. You cannot serve to God and the wealth.
Mateo 19:24 Another time I say to you, that it is easier to pass a camel through the eye of a needle, that to enter a rich one the kingdom of God.
lucas 12:20 But God said to him: Fool, tonight comes to pedirte your soul; and what there are provided, of whom he will be? 21Así is the one that makes for himself treasure, and is not rich towards God.
Lucas 16:9 and I say to you: You gain friendly by means of the unjust wealth, so that when these lack they receive, you in the eternal dwellings.
Lucas 18:22 Jesus, oyendo this, said to him: Still you need a thing: it sells everything what you have, and dalo to the poor men, and you will have treasure in the sky; and they see, sígueme. 23Entonces he, oyendo this, was put very sad, because he was very rich. 24A seeing Jesus who had become sad much, said: How hardly the ones will enter the kingdom of God that have wealth!
Romans 2:4Or you despise the wealth of its benignancy, patience and longanimidad, ignoring that to its guides you benignancy the repentance?
Romans 12:16… you are not wise in your own opinion…

Apocalypse 3:17 Because you say: I am rich, and I have become rich, and of no thing I have necessity; and you do not know that you are desventurado, miserable, poor, blind and naked. 18Por as much, I advise to you that of me you buy gold fire refining, so that you are rich, and white clothes for vestirte, and that the shame of your nakedness is not discovered; and he anoints your eyes with eye-drop, so that you see.
APOCALYPSES 18:15 the merchants of these things, that have become rich at the cost of her, will be stopped far by the fear of their torment, crying and being sorry, 16y saying: Ay, ay, of the great city, that was dressed fine linen, purple (just as the rich one) and scarlet, and were adorned of gold, precious stones and Rep them! 17Porque in one hour has been consumed so many wealth.
