The Rich Man, Lazarus, and Wanda Maximoff

The Rich Man, Lazarus, and Wanda Maximoff

In the story of the rich man and Lazarus, we meet a man who has created a bubble of privilege so impenetrable that even as he suffers for his actions, he cannot see the truth.

In this sermon on Luke 16:19-31, Rev. Tom Harris connects the Marvel TV show WandaVision with this parable. In the show, Wanda Maximoff has created a similar bubble of power that blinds her to reality. How do each of us create the same kinds of bubbles of power and privilege and what can we do to burst them?
