This Life 19-21: What do you have to do to go to hell? _________
~His table, his crumbs…was more important than people. Lazarus wanted to be fed, but Jesus didn’t say he was fed.
~His gate…he wasn’t accountable for every beggar.
~His every day…his opportunities
There’s no sin in being rich just as there’s no righteousness in being poor. It’s who you are with what you have.
Eternal Life 22-26:
~Rich man is very aware of Lazarus now, the man he ignored in his other life. He begs for mercy now, the thing he would not give before. He knows where he is & will always be & where others are. He remembers why he’s here…for eternity.
~Lazarus knows he’s comforted for eternity.
Living like those who are going to hell:
