Bernard Fell preaches about the contrast between the rich man's glory in his riches and the humble, yet rich, life of Lazarus, emphasizing the transient nature of worldly wealth and the eternal value of treasures in heaven. He highlights the consequences of selfish living and the importance of accepting Jesus as our Savior to avoid spiritual poverty. Through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, we are brought to a wealthy place, redeemed from sin, and filled with unceasing joy.

Let not the rich man glory in his riches. Jeremiah 9:23 See the rich man in his palace, Self-sufficient, careless, gay, Clothed in purple and fine linen, With a banquet ev'ry day. See the hungry, unloved beggar Lying helpless at his door, Waiting for the tiny morsels From the rich man's lavish store. Now one day the King of Terrors Laid his hand upon the twain; Where, O rich man, is thy treasure? Death, O Lazarus, is thy gain! Jesus drew aside the curtain And revealed the solemn scene-- One in comfort, one in torment, With a great gulf fixed between. Go to now, ye rich and wanton, Though thy coffers overflow, Fame and plenty now thy portion In this transient world of woe, Know ye not that selfish living Is deep poverty indeed! And to die without the Saviour- Who for mercy then can plead? Jesus came, the Lord of Glory, From His palace-home so fair; He beheld in sin's dominion Moral lepers lying there. He endured the cross of Calv'ry, Was there ever love so great'? In deep poverty and anguish Took our place outside the gate. Sing aloud and sound His praises Ye who know His saving grace: He hath raised us to the heav'nlies, Brought us to a wealthy place. Now no longer lost, insolvent. Crushed beneath the load of sin; By His blood we have been purchased, Joys unceasing now begin.
