| | The Rich Man and Lazarus by John Murray
Topic: Lazarus Scripture(s): Luke 16:19-31 | | Description: There is contrast in this life between the splendor of the rich man and the poverty of Lazarus; there is also the contrast of complete reversal of condition for each man when he dies; God's tender care in the ministry of angels at death; Lazarus was brought into intimate relationship to the saints in heaven; the rich man's torments in hell were so extreme that he desired even a momentary alleviation; the condition of each man after death cannot be changed; the rich man's request that a messenger from the dead be sent to warn his brothers insinuates that God had been unjust in not giving more opportunity for repentance; but messengers from the dead would not bring us to repentance if we will not hearken to the warnings of Scripture.
