THE PARABLE OF THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS II

1. The Parable showed an important Feature.

a. Life on earth is not everything.
i. One may become very wealthy (the rich man).
ii. One may also become very poor (the beggar).
b. There is Life after Death.
i. The rich man obviously felt that he did not need God for he was wealthy.
ii. The poor beggar had nothing much in life except God.

2. The Pitiful Plea of the rich man to Abraham.

“Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’”

Luke 16:24

a. He cried out to Abraham.
b. He pleaded for mercy.
c. He asked Lazarus to be sent to him to give him some water.
d. He was tormented by hell-fire!

3. The Candid answer of Abraham

“But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’”

Luke 16:25-26

a. In the lifetime of the rich man he had enjoyed “good things”.
b. Lazarus had “evil things”.
c. In the hereafter, the situation had reversed itself completely.
d. An impassable gulf existed.
i. Lazarus cannot go to the place of torment.
ii. Nor can the rich man reach Abraham’s bosom.
e. His request cannot be acceded to!

要从那边过到我们这边也是不能的。’”
