The Rich Glutton and Poor Lazarus

The Rich Glutton and Poor Lazarus

Another time as Jesus was teaching His disciples He told them the story of an ignorant rich man and a pitiable beggar. The rich man was selfish and indifferent to the suffering of the poor beggar that lived in front of his gate. When they died, Lazarus, the poor beggar, was in Abraham's home enjoying the good things he missed out on in life, while the rich man was tormented by hunger and thirst in Hades. Though the rich man begged Abraham to send Lazarus to warn his family about this, he refused, saying they already have The Word of God to warn them that if they don’t listen to this, they won't listen to anything else.

Luke 16:25
In our previous episode, we heard how Jesus taught Peter about the freedom we have as children of God, and we discovered the upside-down nature of God’s Kingdom, where humility and servanthood is a strengths, rather than a weakness. Today we’ll hear as Jesus tells a story that reveals more of God’s heart and speaks to the eternal implications of our actions – and beliefs – in this life.
