Create My Child's PageAbout this coloring page
Two scenes are shown side by side on this page. On the left, a rich man sits at a lavish table, dressed in purple and fine linen, surrounded by food and servants. On the right, a poor man (Lazarus) lies at the gate of the rich man's house, thin and weak, with dogs nearby. The contrast between the two halves of the page is stark and intentional. This is one of the most sobering parables Jesus told — not about what happens after death, but about what we do with what we have while we're alive. The visual contrast, the details of wealth and poverty, and the gate between the two worlds give kids a page with real moral weight.
Suggested Scripture: Luke 16:20–21 (NIV) — At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table.
The page is designed as a printable Christian coloring activity that can support a short Bible conversation, a family devotional moment, or a calm classroom activity.

Create a personalized Jesus coloring pageTeaching ideas for parents and teachers
- Before coloring, ask kids to look at both sides of the page. Ask, "What's the difference between these two men? What separates them?"
- For ages 5–7: keep it simple. A rich man had everything. A poor man had nothing and sat at his gate. The rich man never helped him. Jesus said that mattered.
- For Sunday school: focus on the gate. The rich man didn't have to go far to help Lazarus — he was right there. Ask, "Who is the 'Lazarus' at your gate? Who is nearby that you could help?"
- For family devotion: read Luke 16:19–31. Ask, "What's one way our family could notice and respond to someone who is struggling right outside our everyday life?"
Print and activity tips
- Color the rich man's side in deep purples, golds, and reds — opulent and warm.
- Color Lazarus' side in muted, worn tones — grays, faded browns, pale skin.
- Use the gate between them as a visual dividing line; it should feel like a real barrier.
Discussion questions
- The rich man never helped Lazarus, but the Bible doesn't say he was cruel. Is ignoring someone the same as hurting them?
- Lazarus was right at the gate — the rich man couldn't have missed him. What does it mean to "not see" someone who is right in front of you?
- Who is the "Lazarus" in your neighborhood, school, or community?
- What's one small thing you have that someone nearby needs?
- This parable ends with a warning about not listening to Moses and the Prophets. What does that tell you about the connection between reading Scripture and how we treat people?
