KEY VERSE:
But Abraham said, “Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in agony.”
Luke 16:25

FAITH STORY:
Luke 16:19-31

FAITH FOCUS:
Jesus tells the story of a rich man who had everything he needed and didn’t help out the poor man named Lazarus who sat near his house day in and day out. When Lazarus died, he went to heaven, but when the rich man died, he went to Hades. The rich man called out from Hades and asked Abraham to have Lazarus give him a drop of water to cool his tongue. But Abraham explained to the rich man that he couldn’t cross the chasm between heaven and hell and that he already received his rewards on earth and now justice is being served. The rich man then wanted Lazarus to be sent back to earth to his brothers to warn them. Abraham said they had the prophets to warn them. The rich man said they would listen better of they heard from someone who had returned from the dead, to which Abraham replied “If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, they won’t listen to someone who rises from the dead.”
