Jesus said, “There was a rich man who always dressed in the finest cloths and lived in luxury every day.
And a very poor man named Lazarus, whose body was covered with sores, was laid at the rich man’s gate. He wanted to eat only the small pieces of food that fell from the rich man’s table. And the days would come and lick his sores.
Later, Lazarus dies, and the angels carried him to the arms of Abraham. The rich man died, too, and was buried.
In the place of dead, he was in much pain. The rich man saw Abraham far away with Lazarus at his side. He called, “Father Abraham, have mercy on me! Send Lazarus to dip his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am suffering in this fire!”
But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember when you were alive you had the good things in life, but bad things happened to Lazarus.
Now he is comforted here, and you are suffering. Luke 16:19-25.Amen.
