I will use a well-known parable, the rich man and a beggar named Lazarus, contemporize it by using a similar modern scenario to discover how the principles taught in the parable are still relevant today.
The less than a ½ block walk takes the executive by a homeless man who sits on a bus shelter bench.
Every day the homeless man asks the executive if he could spare some change.
The executive ignores the homeless man and is very careful to avoid eye contact with the panhandler.
This modern scenario is very similar to the story of the rich man and the beggar named Lazarus.
