Scriptures:
Luke 16:19-31
“There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine
linen and lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named
Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s
table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
“The time came when the beggar died
and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was
buried. In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away,
with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me
and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue,
because I am in agony in this fire.’
“But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember
that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad
things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all
this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want
to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’
“He answered, ‘Then I beg you,
father, send Lazarus to my father’s house, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him
warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’
“Abraham replied, ‘They have
Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’
“ ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said,
‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’
“He said to him, ‘If they do not
listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone
rises from the dead.’ ”
