00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.419
 A man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day.

00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:12.040
 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table.

00:00:13.220 --> 00:00:15.439
 Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

00:00:16.379 --> 00:00:20.920
 The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side.

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:23.980
 The rich man also died and was buried.

00:00:23.980 --> 00:00:32.039
 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away with Lazarus by his side.

00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:33.460
 So he called to him,

00:00:34.020 --> 00:00:39.799
 Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue,

00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:42.560
 because I am in agony in this fire.

00:00:44.219 --> 00:00:45.780
 But Abraham replied,

00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:53.519
 Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things.

00:00:53.979 --> 00:00:57.519
 But now he is comforted here and you are in agony.

00:00:58.539 --> 00:01:03.799
 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place,

00:01:04.099 --> 00:01:10.819
 so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.

00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:13.000
 He answered,

00:01:13.479 --> 00:01:19.039
 Then I beg you, Father, send Lazarus to my family, for I have five brothers.

00:01:19.340 --> 00:01:23.439
 Let him warm them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.

00:01:23.980 --> 00:01:26.340
 Abraham replied,

00:01:27.140 --> 00:01:30.040
 They have Moses and the prophets, let them listen to them.

00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.500
 No, Father Abraham, he said,

00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.960
 but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.

00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:40.659
 He said to him,

00:01:41.059 --> 00:01:44.859
 If you do not listen to Moses and the prophets,

00:01:45.539 --> 00:01:49.799
 then they will not be convinced, even if someone rises from the dead.

00:01:53.679 --> 00:01:55.719
 Well, let's pray together.

00:01:55.719 --> 00:02:12.460
 Father, as we come to your word, to your truth,

00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:18.240
 we pray that it would shape our hearts,

00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:23.460
 challenge us where we need to be challenged,

00:02:23.460 --> 00:02:28.219
 and that it would cause us to see

00:02:28.219 --> 00:02:32.140
 that Christ is enough,

00:02:32.820 --> 00:02:35.160
 and that Christ is sufficient.

00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:41.240
 Father, do a work in our lives today.

00:02:43.859 --> 00:02:48.699
 Make us that we would become more like the Lord Jesus,

00:02:49.300 --> 00:02:50.219
 in every way.

00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:56.579
 We pray this for your glory and for our good.

00:02:57.620 --> 00:02:58.180
 Amen.

00:02:58.180 --> 00:03:06.900
 Well, if you won the Euro Millions,

00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.020
 what would you do with it?

00:03:11.580 --> 00:03:13.480
 What do you dream you could do?

00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:16.300
 Would you pay off your mortgage?

00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:19.260
 Maybe buy a new car,

00:03:19.480 --> 00:03:20.840
 or take a holiday,

00:03:21.020 --> 00:03:22.960
 do a world travel trip?

00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:28.620
 Well, you mightn't win the Euro Millions.

00:03:28.780 --> 00:03:31.200
 It's a very slim chance that we will.

00:03:32.300 --> 00:03:36.900
 But what if you were to suddenly have access to a little extra cash?

00:03:38.219 --> 00:03:40.520
 Maybe some money is left to you in a will.

00:03:42.140 --> 00:03:44.219
 Perhaps you get a promotion,

00:03:44.460 --> 00:03:45.420
 start a new job,

00:03:45.480 --> 00:03:47.000
 and it's got a better salary.

00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.020
 Or some savings account has matured.

00:03:52.020 --> 00:03:55.020
 But what do you fantasise about

00:03:55.020 --> 00:03:58.960
 if you just had a little bit more money?

00:03:59.740 --> 00:04:01.660
 A bit more spare cash in the wallet

00:04:01.660 --> 00:04:02.660
 at the end of the week?

00:04:03.640 --> 00:04:04.500
 What would you do?

00:04:04.620 --> 00:04:06.040
 Would you get a new phone?

00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:07.700
 An upgrade,

00:04:07.900 --> 00:04:09.080
 or decorate the house,

00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:10.740
 or just treat yourself,

00:04:10.900 --> 00:04:11.600
 and go shopping,

00:04:11.740 --> 00:04:13.520
 and buy something for me?

00:04:16.980 --> 00:04:18.800
 Well, money's not a bad thing.

00:04:19.540 --> 00:04:22.000
 It's not wrong to have money.

00:04:22.019 --> 00:04:25.359
 Money is actually a good gift from God.

00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.139
 But we need to be so, so careful.

00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:30.379
 Money is powerful.

00:04:31.459 --> 00:04:33.599
 It has the power to control us

00:04:33.599 --> 00:04:35.579
 and consume us.

00:04:36.419 --> 00:04:39.399
 Look at what Jesus says back in verse 13.

00:04:42.019 --> 00:04:46.479
 This comes actually at the end of another parable about money.

00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.200
 So verse 13, it says,

00:04:49.200 --> 00:04:51.580
 No one can serve two masters.

00:04:52.259 --> 00:04:53.759
 Either you will hate the one

00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:55.480
 and love the other,

00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.280
 or you will be devoted to one

00:04:58.280 --> 00:04:59.740
 and despise the other.

00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.220
 You cannot serve both God and money.

00:05:04.819 --> 00:05:07.840
 The Pharisees, who loved money,

00:05:08.780 --> 00:05:09.819
 heard all this

00:05:09.819 --> 00:05:12.360
 and were sneering at Jesus.

00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:15.500
 So in response,

00:05:16.520 --> 00:05:18.360
 Jesus tells a story.

00:05:19.020 --> 00:05:20.699
 Now as we go through this story,

00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:22.560
 I know it's familiar to a lot of you,

00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:24.280
 but as we go through it,

00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.340
 I want us to be asking this question.

00:05:26.699 --> 00:05:28.860
 Who am I in the story?

00:05:30.699 --> 00:05:32.819
 Not who would I like to be,

00:05:32.819 --> 00:05:35.560
 but who am I?

00:05:38.159 --> 00:05:38.680
 First,

00:05:39.159 --> 00:05:41.019
 in the story,

00:05:41.159 --> 00:05:42.860
 there are two kinds of people.

00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.040
 First we have the rich man,

00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:47.439
 verse 19.

00:05:48.459 --> 00:05:49.519
 There was a rich man

00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:52.120
 who was dressed in purple and fine linen,

00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.180
 which was kind of the designer clothing of the day,

00:05:55.620 --> 00:05:58.839
 and lived in luxury every day.

00:06:00.159 --> 00:06:02.120
 He's Mr. Giorgio Armani.

00:06:02.819 --> 00:06:04.540
 That fine-cut suit.

00:06:05.180 --> 00:06:07.899
 A Versace watch hanging loose on his wrist.

00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:08.819
 The bling.

00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.719
 Gated playhouse for all his parties.

00:06:13.099 --> 00:06:14.819
 And of course, his pride and joy,

00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:16.980
 his personalised Lamborghini.

00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:20.480
 He's a wealthy man.

00:06:22.159 --> 00:06:23.620
 Now before you say,

00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:24.899
 that's not me,

00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:26.100
 I'm not rich,

00:06:26.180 --> 00:06:27.560
 I'm not in that category,

00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:29.920
 consider this.

00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.600
 More than a billion people

00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:34.740
 live on less than a dollar a day.

00:06:36.300 --> 00:06:38.360
 Almost two billion others

00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.180
 live on less than two dollars a day.

00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:45.420
 Nearly half the world's population

00:06:45.420 --> 00:06:49.120
 are struggling to have adequate food,

00:06:49.740 --> 00:06:50.160
 water,

00:06:50.840 --> 00:06:51.540
 and shelter.

00:06:51.540 --> 00:06:56.280
 Most people live and die in poverty.

00:06:58.220 --> 00:06:59.840
 In the eyes of the world,

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:02.700
 we are Mr. and Mrs. Rich.

00:07:03.660 --> 00:07:04.960
 And living here in Ireland

00:07:04.960 --> 00:07:07.780
 means we're actually in the top 20%

00:07:07.780 --> 00:07:10.879
 of the world's most well-off.

00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:18.819
 Second, we're introduced to the poor man.

00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:19.600
 Verse 20.

00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:21.519
 At his gate,

00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:23.560
 this great mansion,

00:07:24.379 --> 00:07:26.980
 with a gate to keep certain people out,

00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.839
 was laid a beggar named Lazarus,

00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:31.740
 covered with sores,

00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:32.959
 and longing to eat

00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.040
 what fell from the rich man's table,

00:07:35.899 --> 00:07:36.579
 the scraps.

00:07:36.579 --> 00:07:40.839
 Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

00:07:42.060 --> 00:07:43.000
 He's a neglected,

00:07:43.620 --> 00:07:44.519
 malnourished,

00:07:45.159 --> 00:07:46.120
 homeless beggar.

00:07:47.219 --> 00:07:48.699
 Today, we might think of him

00:07:48.699 --> 00:07:50.599
 as being one of those two billion

00:07:50.599 --> 00:07:53.939
 who live on less than a couple dollars a day.

00:07:55.299 --> 00:07:56.000
 His family,

00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:57.360
 more than likely,

00:07:57.479 --> 00:07:59.879
 live beside a disease-ridden open sewer.

00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:02.680
 He rummages through the city dump,

00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.799
 hoping to find someone's scraps.

00:08:06.579 --> 00:08:08.659
 No access to clean running water.

00:08:09.039 --> 00:08:09.659
 No toilet.

00:08:11.359 --> 00:08:15.060
 No access to medicine or a doctor.

00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:20.060
 The contrast between these two characters

00:08:20.060 --> 00:08:20.919
 couldn't be greater.

00:08:21.479 --> 00:08:22.759
 One lives in luxury,

00:08:24.219 --> 00:08:26.259
 the other in great poverty.

00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:29.620
 One dressed in fine clothes,

00:08:30.339 --> 00:08:33.960
 the other dressed in sores.

00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.560
 who are the rich

00:08:37.560 --> 00:08:39.360
 of the world today,

00:08:40.019 --> 00:08:41.480
 and who are the poor.

00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:45.740
 But this is a story

00:08:45.740 --> 00:08:47.800
 so much more than just physical

00:08:47.800 --> 00:08:49.900
 or material wealth.

00:08:51.780 --> 00:08:52.480
 You see,

00:08:52.560 --> 00:08:56.019
 while the world longs to be materially rich

00:08:56.019 --> 00:08:58.639
 and chase after money,

00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.100
 we are to strive

00:09:01.100 --> 00:09:03.319
 to be spiritually poor.

00:09:05.620 --> 00:09:06.620
 Mike McKinley,

00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:07.460
 one author,

00:09:07.580 --> 00:09:08.779
 puts it like this.

00:09:10.860 --> 00:09:13.559
 A person's economic condition

00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:15.580
 has the potential

00:09:15.580 --> 00:09:17.580
 to help or hinder them

00:09:17.580 --> 00:09:19.059
 when it comes to having

00:09:19.059 --> 00:09:20.899
 the spiritual characteristics

00:09:20.899 --> 00:09:22.120
 that God values

00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:23.759
 and rewards.

00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:24.700
 Let me read that again.

00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:25.460
 It's important.

00:09:25.460 --> 00:09:28.200
 A person's economic condition

00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:29.920
 has the potential

00:09:29.920 --> 00:09:31.960
 to help or hinder them

00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:33.740
 when it comes to having

00:09:33.740 --> 00:09:35.740
 the spiritual characteristics

00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:37.840
 that God values

00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:39.320
 and rewards.

00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:40.820
 Let me explain that.

00:09:41.400 --> 00:09:43.900
 So, if you are materially rich,

00:09:45.060 --> 00:09:46.340
 it's much harder

00:09:46.340 --> 00:09:48.600
 to see your spiritual need.

00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:50.899
 Because if you are rich

00:09:50.899 --> 00:09:51.480
 and wealthy,

00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:53.240
 well, you're self-sufficient.

00:09:53.740 --> 00:09:54.980
 You're independent.

00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:57.500
 You don't need anybody's help.

00:09:57.639 --> 00:09:58.720
 You can do it alone.

00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.560
 But if you're materially poor,

00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.120
 then it is much easier

00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:06.519
 to see your spiritual need

00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:08.860
 because you are others reliant.

00:10:10.139 --> 00:10:11.980
 Your economic condition

00:10:11.980 --> 00:10:13.800
 means that you are dependent.

00:10:14.420 --> 00:10:15.860
 You desperately need

00:10:15.860 --> 00:10:17.500
 the help of somebody else

00:10:17.500 --> 00:10:18.340
 to intervene.

00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:22.279
 Now, think about

00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:23.899
 the spiritual characteristics

00:10:23.899 --> 00:10:25.139
 we should have

00:10:25.139 --> 00:10:26.960
 when coming to God.

00:10:28.180 --> 00:10:29.540
 We are to come

00:10:29.540 --> 00:10:31.460
 like the poor,

00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:32.920
 desperate,

00:10:33.920 --> 00:10:34.580
 in need,

00:10:35.040 --> 00:10:36.240
 longing for help,

00:10:36.740 --> 00:10:38.720
 begging for mercy.

00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:41.360
 We are to come

00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:43.899
 like the lost son

00:10:43.899 --> 00:10:45.899
 back in chapter 15.

00:10:46.040 --> 00:10:47.000
 Have a look back there

00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:47.860
 to chapter 15.

00:10:47.860 --> 00:10:50.259
 Again, another well-known story

00:10:50.259 --> 00:10:52.720
 about the lost son

00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:54.120
 and the elder brother.

00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:55.519
 Let's pick it up

00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:56.580
 in verse 17.

00:10:57.940 --> 00:10:59.460
 Here we have an example

00:10:59.460 --> 00:11:00.899
 of what it is to come,

00:11:01.860 --> 00:11:03.000
 begging for mercy,

00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:04.720
 desperate for help.

00:11:05.220 --> 00:11:05.940
 Verse 17,

00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:07.700
 so the son,

00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:09.139
 when he had spent everything

00:11:09.139 --> 00:11:10.000
 that he had had

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:11.179
 and he had nothing left,

00:11:11.460 --> 00:11:12.840
 when he came to his senses,

00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:13.560
 he said,

00:11:14.019 --> 00:11:15.600
 how many of my father's

00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:16.440
 hired servants

00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:17.600
 have food to spare

00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:18.600
 and here I am

00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:19.899
 starving to death.

00:11:20.800 --> 00:11:22.060
 I will set out

00:11:22.060 --> 00:11:23.420
 and go back to my father

00:11:23.420 --> 00:11:24.440
 and say to him,

00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:25.720
 Father,

00:11:26.280 --> 00:11:27.759
 I have sinned

00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:28.480
 against heaven

00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:29.399
 and against you.

00:11:29.860 --> 00:11:31.480
 I am no longer worthy

00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:32.780
 to be called your son.

00:11:33.560 --> 00:11:34.600
 Make me like one

00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:36.000
 of your hired servants.

00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.700
 So he got up

00:11:38.700 --> 00:11:40.019
 and went to his father.

00:11:41.340 --> 00:11:41.659
 You see,

00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:42.639
 that's the condition

00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:44.259
 we are to go to God.

00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:45.159
 We are to go

00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:46.840
 as hopeless,

00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:47.700
 helpless,

00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:48.600
 dependent,

00:11:49.100 --> 00:11:50.320
 completely reliant

00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:51.320
 on God's grace

00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:53.860
 to be spiritually poor,

00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:57.259
 longing for God's intervention.

00:11:58.440 --> 00:11:59.500
 There is no place,

00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:00.320
 there is no room

00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:01.960
 for self-righteous,

00:12:02.179 --> 00:12:02.600
 arrogant,

00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:04.000
 hard-hearted attitudes

00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:06.580
 when coming to God.

00:12:09.259 --> 00:12:10.519
 So as we read

00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:11.519
 through this story,

00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:14.720
 who are you

00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:16.360
 in the story?

00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:18.700
 Are you the rich

00:12:18.700 --> 00:12:21.080
 or are you the poor?

00:12:22.700 --> 00:12:23.860
 Are you somebody

00:12:23.860 --> 00:12:25.799
 who seeks material wealth

00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:29.000
 or are you striving

00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:30.840
 for spiritual poverty?

00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:37.360
 Second,

00:12:37.820 --> 00:12:40.120
 there are two ways

00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:40.820
 to live.

00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:44.120
 The two men die,

00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:44.620
 don't they?

00:12:45.100 --> 00:12:45.840
 The rich man

00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:47.799
 goes to Hades,

00:12:47.899 --> 00:12:48.539
 we'll come back

00:12:48.539 --> 00:12:49.279
 to that in a minute,

00:12:49.379 --> 00:12:50.159
 and the poor man

00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:51.000
 goes to heaven.

00:12:52.340 --> 00:12:52.679
 Now,

00:12:53.100 --> 00:12:53.480
 again,

00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:54.259
 we need to be clear

00:12:54.259 --> 00:12:54.659
 about this.

00:12:54.700 --> 00:12:56.539
 It's not their economic status

00:12:56.539 --> 00:12:57.539
 that determines

00:12:57.539 --> 00:12:58.279
 their fate.

00:12:58.379 --> 00:12:59.000
 It's not because

00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:00.879
 one has more money

00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:02.100
 that he ends up

00:13:02.100 --> 00:13:02.759
 in one place

00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:03.580
 and one has less

00:13:03.580 --> 00:13:04.299
 that he ends up

00:13:04.299 --> 00:13:04.799
 in another.

00:13:05.740 --> 00:13:07.019
 It's not that at all.

00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:08.700
 The Bible is much broader

00:13:08.700 --> 00:13:09.580
 than that to say

00:13:09.580 --> 00:13:10.480
 that those who

00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:11.519
 are rich

00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:12.960
 do go to heaven

00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:14.059
 and some who are

00:13:14.059 --> 00:13:15.319
 materially poor

00:13:15.319 --> 00:13:16.019
 don't.

00:13:17.439 --> 00:13:19.039
 It boils down to

00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:20.179
 how we live

00:13:20.179 --> 00:13:21.059
 in this life.

00:13:22.259 --> 00:13:23.139
 That's what will

00:13:23.139 --> 00:13:23.700
 determine

00:13:23.700 --> 00:13:25.899
 our fate.

00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:27.639
 And there's two ways

00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:28.460
 we can live.

00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:29.720
 First,

00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:30.340
 there's the way

00:13:30.340 --> 00:13:31.059
 of faith.

00:13:31.059 --> 00:13:32.739
 Look at verse 22.

00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:34.279
 The time came

00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:35.399
 when the beggar died

00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:36.919
 and the angels

00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:37.679
 carried him

00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:39.439
 to Abraham's side.

00:13:39.899 --> 00:13:40.279
 Again,

00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:41.179
 we're going to get

00:13:41.179 --> 00:13:42.319
 back to what

00:13:42.319 --> 00:13:42.959
 that means,

00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:44.239
 but for now

00:13:44.239 --> 00:13:45.119
 I want us to see

00:13:45.119 --> 00:13:46.239
 that Lazarus

00:13:46.239 --> 00:13:46.919
 was a man

00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:47.439
 who lived

00:13:47.439 --> 00:13:48.479
 by faith.

00:13:50.819 --> 00:13:51.379
 Lazarus

00:13:51.379 --> 00:13:52.039
 means

00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:53.879
 the one

00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:54.599
 God

00:13:54.599 --> 00:13:55.479
 helps.

00:13:56.239 --> 00:13:56.619
 That's what

00:13:56.619 --> 00:13:57.299
 his name means,

00:13:57.299 --> 00:13:57.779
 the one

00:13:57.779 --> 00:13:58.639
 God helps.

00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:00.240
 Lazarus

00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:01.100
 knows he's

00:14:01.100 --> 00:14:01.659
 in desperate

00:14:01.659 --> 00:14:02.019
 need.

00:14:02.299 --> 00:14:02.779
 He's a man

00:14:02.779 --> 00:14:03.500
 in poverty

00:14:03.500 --> 00:14:04.679
 and in response

00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:07.159
 God helps.

00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:09.179
 And even

00:14:09.179 --> 00:14:09.759
 though he's

00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:10.580
 lived in poverty,

00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:11.379
 even though

00:14:11.379 --> 00:14:12.139
 he dies

00:14:12.139 --> 00:14:12.779
 in poverty,

00:14:13.620 --> 00:14:14.199
 he never

00:14:14.199 --> 00:14:14.939
 turns away

00:14:14.939 --> 00:14:15.399
 from God.

00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:15.960
 There's nothing

00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:16.720
 in this story

00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:17.519
 that tells us

00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:18.699
 that he curses

00:14:18.699 --> 00:14:19.379
 God and

00:14:19.379 --> 00:14:20.819
 is giving off

00:14:20.819 --> 00:14:21.519
 and he's bitter

00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:22.080
 and angry

00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:23.100
 about his life.

00:14:23.100 --> 00:14:25.659
 No,

00:14:25.700 --> 00:14:26.100
 it seems

00:14:26.100 --> 00:14:26.779
 that Abraham

00:14:26.779 --> 00:14:27.960
 was a man

00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:28.580
 of faith.

00:14:30.899 --> 00:14:31.340
 You see,

00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:32.159
 true faith

00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:33.279
 is not determined

00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:34.420
 by what I have

00:14:34.420 --> 00:14:35.519
 and what I can get.

00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:36.940
 This kind of

00:14:36.940 --> 00:14:37.820
 attitude that says,

00:14:38.139 --> 00:14:38.220
 oh,

00:14:38.259 --> 00:14:39.060
 I'll believe

00:14:39.060 --> 00:14:41.060
 if you get me

00:14:41.060 --> 00:14:42.040
 a better job.

00:14:42.899 --> 00:14:43.899
 Or I'll follow

00:14:43.899 --> 00:14:44.120
 you,

00:14:44.300 --> 00:14:44.399
 Lord,

00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:45.480
 if you can make

00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:45.920
 me more

00:14:45.920 --> 00:14:47.080
 financially stable.

00:14:47.700 --> 00:14:48.500
 True faith

00:14:48.500 --> 00:14:49.540
 always says,

00:14:50.160 --> 00:14:51.259
 God is enough.

00:14:51.259 --> 00:14:54.960
 God is sufficient.

00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:57.360
 Even when I have

00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:57.980
 nothing,

00:14:58.460 --> 00:14:59.399
 even if I should

00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:00.580
 lose my job,

00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:02.000
 even if I can't

00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:03.000
 afford the mortgage

00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:03.720
 this week,

00:15:04.100 --> 00:15:05.179
 even if I should

00:15:05.179 --> 00:15:06.259
 end up sick,

00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:09.919
 true faith

00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:10.899
 will always say,

00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.000
 God is enough.

00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:15.939
 God is sufficient.

00:15:17.299 --> 00:15:18.559
 I will trust

00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:18.919
 him.

00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:21.479
 And Abraham

00:15:21.479 --> 00:15:22.240
 is a man

00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:23.059
 who has said,

00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:24.719
 God is

00:15:24.719 --> 00:15:25.959
 enough.

00:15:27.979 --> 00:15:28.779
 So there's

00:15:28.779 --> 00:15:29.639
 the way of faith

00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:32.299
 and then we have

00:15:32.299 --> 00:15:32.699
 second,

00:15:32.839 --> 00:15:33.779
 the way of self.

00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:35.559
 In contrast,

00:15:36.319 --> 00:15:37.219
 the rich man,

00:15:37.459 --> 00:15:38.079
 it seems,

00:15:38.319 --> 00:15:39.319
 lives by his

00:15:39.319 --> 00:15:40.500
 own resources.

00:15:41.079 --> 00:15:41.719
 He lived

00:15:41.719 --> 00:15:43.039
 by his means

00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:44.399
 and he is

00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:45.379
 trusted in

00:15:45.379 --> 00:15:46.559
 his means.

00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:50.539
 He shows

00:15:50.539 --> 00:15:51.319
 no

00:15:51.319 --> 00:15:52.359
 genuine

00:15:52.359 --> 00:15:53.179
 desire

00:15:53.179 --> 00:15:54.339
 to repent.

00:15:54.539 --> 00:15:54.819
 Look at

00:15:54.819 --> 00:15:55.699
 verse 24.

00:15:57.039 --> 00:15:57.859
 So he's

00:15:57.859 --> 00:15:58.599
 in Hades,

00:15:59.299 --> 00:16:00.119
 he's looking

00:16:00.119 --> 00:16:00.339
 up,

00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:00.779
 he sees

00:16:00.779 --> 00:16:01.199
 Abraham

00:16:01.199 --> 00:16:01.939
 and Lazarus

00:16:01.939 --> 00:16:02.399
 by his

00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:02.699
 side,

00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:03.419
 verse 24,

00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:04.119
 so he

00:16:04.119 --> 00:16:04.559
 called to

00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:04.779
 him,

00:16:05.119 --> 00:16:06.139
 Father Abraham,

00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:07.359
 have pity

00:16:07.359 --> 00:16:07.799
 on me

00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:08.319
 and send

00:16:08.319 --> 00:16:08.859
 Lazarus

00:16:08.859 --> 00:16:09.199
 to dip

00:16:09.199 --> 00:16:09.959
 the tip

00:16:09.959 --> 00:16:10.279
 of his

00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:10.619
 finger

00:16:10.619 --> 00:16:11.239
 in water

00:16:11.239 --> 00:16:12.039
 and coo

00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:12.559
 my tongue

00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:13.339
 because I

00:16:13.339 --> 00:16:13.599
 am in

00:16:13.599 --> 00:16:13.919
 agony

00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:14.339
 in this

00:16:14.339 --> 00:16:14.739
 fire.

00:16:14.740 --> 00:16:18.100
 verse 27,

00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:19.680
 he begs

00:16:19.680 --> 00:16:20.960
 the Father,

00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:22.320
 send Lazarus

00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:23.000
 to my

00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:23.539
 family.

00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:25.680
 Now,

00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:26.759
 how arrogant

00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:27.519
 is that?

00:16:28.680 --> 00:16:29.779
 The rich man

00:16:29.779 --> 00:16:30.200
 is still

00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:31.039
 thinking about

00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:31.560
 himself.

00:16:33.139 --> 00:16:33.940
 He's been

00:16:33.940 --> 00:16:34.720
 judged for

00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:35.259
 how he's

00:16:35.259 --> 00:16:36.120
 living or

00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:36.700
 how he has

00:16:36.700 --> 00:16:37.039
 lived,

00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:38.299
 but he still

00:16:38.299 --> 00:16:39.120
 can't see

00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:39.820
 the mistakes

00:16:39.820 --> 00:16:40.500
 he's made.

00:16:40.820 --> 00:16:41.639
 Rather than

00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:42.100
 show any

00:16:42.100 --> 00:16:42.639
 kind of

00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:43.100
 remorse,

00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:43.919
 he's too

00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:44.939
 busy expecting

00:16:44.939 --> 00:16:45.599
 people to

00:16:45.599 --> 00:16:46.000
 come and

00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:46.539
 serve him.

00:16:46.979 --> 00:16:47.439
 Abraham,

00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:48.579
 why don't

00:16:48.579 --> 00:16:49.120
 you go and

00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:49.879
 tell Lazarus

00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:50.259
 to come

00:16:50.259 --> 00:16:50.779
 down here

00:16:50.779 --> 00:16:51.079
 and give

00:16:51.079 --> 00:16:51.339
 me a

00:16:51.339 --> 00:16:51.599
 bit of

00:16:51.599 --> 00:16:51.939
 water?

00:16:53.019 --> 00:16:53.459
 Abraham,

00:16:53.699 --> 00:16:54.419
 tell Lazarus

00:16:54.419 --> 00:16:54.939
 to go and

00:16:54.939 --> 00:16:55.339
 tell and

00:16:55.339 --> 00:16:55.860
 warn my

00:16:55.860 --> 00:16:56.259
 brothers.

00:16:57.199 --> 00:16:58.139
 He's still

00:16:58.139 --> 00:16:58.939
 dishing out

00:16:58.939 --> 00:17:00.000
 orders as

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:00.839
 if Lazarus,

00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:01.319
 the poor

00:17:01.319 --> 00:17:01.639
 man,

00:17:01.899 --> 00:17:03.240
 somehow owed

00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:04.119
 him a

00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:04.500
 favour.

00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:07.740
 It's so

00:17:07.740 --> 00:17:08.680
 tragic.

00:17:10.740 --> 00:17:11.700
 He's being

00:17:11.700 --> 00:17:12.319
 judged,

00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:12.460
 unabashed,

00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:14.139
 and he

00:17:14.139 --> 00:17:14.939
 still can't

00:17:14.939 --> 00:17:15.480
 see it.

00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:17.200
 Rather than

00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:18.019
 see how he

00:17:18.019 --> 00:17:18.460
 has lived

00:17:18.460 --> 00:17:18.939
 all his

00:17:18.939 --> 00:17:19.359
 life,

00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:20.819
 and repent

00:17:20.819 --> 00:17:21.299
 if that

00:17:21.299 --> 00:17:21.759
 were still

00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:22.259
 possible,

00:17:23.159 --> 00:17:24.019
 he is so

00:17:24.019 --> 00:17:25.500
 self-absorbed

00:17:25.500 --> 00:17:25.960
 with his

00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:27.220
 own needs.

00:17:30.339 --> 00:17:31.039
 There is

00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:31.759
 no genuine

00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:32.639
 desire to

00:17:32.639 --> 00:17:32.980
 repent.

00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:35.399
 And

00:17:35.399 --> 00:17:35.779
 second,

00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:36.700
 he has no

00:17:36.700 --> 00:17:37.759
 practical love

00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:38.139
 for the

00:17:38.139 --> 00:17:38.480
 poor.

00:17:38.899 --> 00:17:39.299
 Look at

00:17:39.299 --> 00:17:40.139
 verse 25.

00:17:40.140 --> 00:17:42.520
 Abraham

00:17:42.520 --> 00:17:43.100
 replied,

00:17:43.980 --> 00:17:44.400
 Son,

00:17:44.520 --> 00:17:45.160
 remember that

00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:45.680
 in your

00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:46.400
 lifetime,

00:17:47.259 --> 00:17:48.100
 you received

00:17:48.100 --> 00:17:48.740
 your good

00:17:48.740 --> 00:17:49.380
 things,

00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:51.300
 while Lazarus

00:17:51.300 --> 00:17:52.420
 received bad

00:17:52.420 --> 00:17:52.960
 things.

00:17:53.800 --> 00:17:54.820
 But now he

00:17:54.820 --> 00:17:55.560
 is comforted

00:17:55.560 --> 00:17:55.920
 here,

00:17:56.420 --> 00:17:57.460
 and you

00:17:57.460 --> 00:17:57.980
 are in

00:17:57.980 --> 00:17:58.320
 agony.

00:17:59.380 --> 00:18:00.240
 The rich

00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:01.280
 man was so

00:18:01.280 --> 00:18:02.180
 blessed during

00:18:02.180 --> 00:18:03.000
 his lifetime,

00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:05.320
 but yet he

00:18:05.320 --> 00:18:06.400
 gave nothing

00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:07.420
 to relieve the

00:18:07.420 --> 00:18:08.140
 suffering of

00:18:08.140 --> 00:18:08.740
 Lazarus.

00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:10.440
 Every day he

00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:10.780
 would have

00:18:10.780 --> 00:18:11.640
 driven out of

00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:12.400
 his gates in

00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:12.940
 his flashy

00:18:12.940 --> 00:18:13.400
 car.

00:18:14.020 --> 00:18:14.880
 Every day he

00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:15.759
 ignored the

00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:16.540
 beggar as he

00:18:16.540 --> 00:18:17.840
 renovated and

00:18:17.840 --> 00:18:19.220
 redecorated his

00:18:19.220 --> 00:18:20.200
 gated mansion,

00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:22.020
 and laid on

00:18:22.020 --> 00:18:22.759
 his lavish

00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:23.320
 parties.

00:18:24.780 --> 00:18:25.240
 He did

00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:25.940
 absolutely

00:18:25.940 --> 00:18:27.520
 nothing with

00:18:27.520 --> 00:18:28.200
 the resources

00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:29.180
 at his

00:18:29.180 --> 00:18:29.780
 exposure.

00:18:30.980 --> 00:18:31.840
 He lived

00:18:31.840 --> 00:18:32.960
 as if the

00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:33.740
 beggar never

00:18:33.740 --> 00:18:34.759
 even existed.

00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:35.640
 In fact,

00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:36.560
 the dogs

00:18:36.560 --> 00:18:38.060
 showed more

00:18:38.060 --> 00:18:38.980
 compassion to

00:18:38.980 --> 00:18:39.980
 Lazarus as

00:18:39.980 --> 00:18:40.720
 they came and

00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:41.220
 licked his

00:18:41.220 --> 00:18:41.700
 sores.

00:18:42.900 --> 00:18:43.820
 The rich

00:18:43.820 --> 00:18:45.280
 man has

00:18:45.280 --> 00:18:45.800
 lived a

00:18:45.800 --> 00:18:46.980
 self-absorbed

00:18:46.980 --> 00:18:47.580
 life,

00:18:48.600 --> 00:18:49.580
 thinking only

00:18:49.580 --> 00:18:51.040
 of himself.

00:18:53.540 --> 00:18:54.120
 You see,

00:18:54.280 --> 00:18:55.160
 true faith

00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:57.960
 has this

00:18:57.960 --> 00:18:59.180
 genuine desire

00:18:59.180 --> 00:19:00.300
 to repent

00:19:00.299 --> 00:19:02.539
 and give

00:19:02.539 --> 00:19:03.500
 practical help

00:19:03.500 --> 00:19:03.859
 to the

00:19:03.859 --> 00:19:04.200
 poor.

00:19:05.339 --> 00:19:06.139
 So if I'm

00:19:06.139 --> 00:19:06.500
 saying,

00:19:06.859 --> 00:19:07.220
 oh yes,

00:19:07.259 --> 00:19:07.659
 I'm a

00:19:07.659 --> 00:19:08.180
 person of

00:19:08.180 --> 00:19:08.980
 true faith,

00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:10.659
 well,

00:19:10.779 --> 00:19:11.419
 true faith

00:19:11.419 --> 00:19:12.619
 prays this

00:19:12.619 --> 00:19:13.220
 kind of

00:19:13.220 --> 00:19:13.559
 prayer.

00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:15.319
 Lord,

00:19:16.539 --> 00:19:17.480
 forgive me

00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:18.000
 for my

00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:19.039
 selfish greed.

00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:21.759
 Have you

00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:22.299
 ever thought

00:19:22.299 --> 00:19:22.899
 of ourselves

00:19:22.899 --> 00:19:23.500
 as being

00:19:23.500 --> 00:19:24.039
 greedy?

00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:26.500
 I'm sorry

00:19:26.500 --> 00:19:27.259
 for ignoring

00:19:27.259 --> 00:19:27.859
 those in

00:19:27.859 --> 00:19:28.879
 desperate need.

00:19:30.099 --> 00:19:30.639
 Forgive me

00:19:30.639 --> 00:19:31.359
 for wasting

00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:32.039
 my money

00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:32.559
 on things

00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:33.099
 I don't

00:19:33.099 --> 00:19:33.619
 need and

00:19:33.619 --> 00:19:34.319
 stuffing my

00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:34.759
 life with

00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:35.159
 things I

00:19:35.159 --> 00:19:35.599
 will never

00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:36.519
 use while

00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:37.099
 countless

00:19:37.099 --> 00:19:37.740
 millions

00:19:37.740 --> 00:19:38.920
 starve and

00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:39.319
 die.

00:19:41.299 --> 00:19:41.960
 Lord,

00:19:42.180 --> 00:19:42.960
 change my

00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:43.579
 heart from

00:19:43.579 --> 00:19:44.139
 a greedy

00:19:44.139 --> 00:19:44.859
 hoarder

00:19:44.859 --> 00:19:46.619
 to a

00:19:46.619 --> 00:19:46.980
 generous

00:19:46.980 --> 00:19:47.399
 giver.

00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:52.359
 James,

00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:54.240
 who wrote

00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:55.939
 one of the

00:19:55.939 --> 00:19:56.479
 letters in

00:19:56.479 --> 00:19:57.000
 the Bible,

00:19:57.379 --> 00:19:57.659
 put it

00:19:57.659 --> 00:19:58.139
 this way,

00:19:59.159 --> 00:19:59.699
 religion

00:19:59.699 --> 00:20:00.539
 that God

00:20:00.539 --> 00:20:01.139
 our Father

00:20:01.139 --> 00:20:02.039
 accepts as

00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:02.639
 pure and

00:20:02.639 --> 00:20:03.359
 faultless is

00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:03.740
 this,

00:20:04.500 --> 00:20:05.279
 to look

00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:06.519
 after orphans

00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:07.579
 and widows

00:20:07.579 --> 00:20:08.379
 in their

00:20:08.379 --> 00:20:09.000
 distress.

00:20:10.059 --> 00:20:10.419
 You see,

00:20:10.500 --> 00:20:10.979
 the orphan

00:20:10.979 --> 00:20:11.299
 and the

00:20:11.299 --> 00:20:11.899
 widow were

00:20:11.899 --> 00:20:13.079
 categories for

00:20:13.079 --> 00:20:13.539
 those who

00:20:13.539 --> 00:20:14.000
 are most

00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:14.399
 vulnerable

00:20:14.399 --> 00:20:14.979
 and most

00:20:14.979 --> 00:20:15.379
 poor,

00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:16.839
 those who

00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:17.679
 have nothing,

00:20:18.019 --> 00:20:18.459
 those who

00:20:18.459 --> 00:20:18.859
 can do

00:20:18.859 --> 00:20:19.599
 nothing for

00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:20.099
 themselves.

00:20:20.099 --> 00:20:22.759
 So true

00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:23.259
 religion,

00:20:23.500 --> 00:20:24.299
 true faith

00:20:24.299 --> 00:20:25.099
 is expressed

00:20:25.099 --> 00:20:25.959
 in giving

00:20:25.959 --> 00:20:26.399
 to the

00:20:26.399 --> 00:20:27.779
 750 million

00:20:27.779 --> 00:20:28.500
 who do

00:20:28.500 --> 00:20:28.939
 not have

00:20:28.939 --> 00:20:29.559
 access to

00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:30.219
 clean water.

00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:31.719
 Think of

00:20:31.719 --> 00:20:32.179
 that every

00:20:32.179 --> 00:20:32.679
 time you

00:20:32.679 --> 00:20:33.099
 turn on

00:20:33.099 --> 00:20:33.500
 your tap

00:20:33.500 --> 00:20:33.919
 to wash

00:20:33.919 --> 00:20:34.419
 your teeth.

00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:37.059
 True faith

00:20:37.059 --> 00:20:37.759
 is expressed

00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:38.339
 in helping

00:20:38.339 --> 00:20:39.719
 the 24,000

00:20:39.719 --> 00:20:40.819
 children who

00:20:40.819 --> 00:20:41.419
 will die

00:20:41.419 --> 00:20:42.099
 this very

00:20:42.099 --> 00:20:43.619
 day because

00:20:43.619 --> 00:20:44.139
 they don't

00:20:44.139 --> 00:20:44.639
 have enough

00:20:44.639 --> 00:20:45.079
 food.

00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:47.179
 And if

00:20:47.179 --> 00:20:47.599
 we're finding

00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:48.399
 it hard to

00:20:48.399 --> 00:20:49.139
 kind of get

00:20:49.139 --> 00:20:49.519
 our head

00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:50.059
 around these

00:20:50.059 --> 00:20:50.519
 figures,

00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:51.440
 to put

00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:51.940
 that into

00:20:51.940 --> 00:20:52.599
 perspective,

00:20:53.099 --> 00:20:53.480
 thus the

00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:54.539
 total population

00:20:54.539 --> 00:20:55.059
 of our

00:20:55.059 --> 00:20:55.639
 nation's

00:20:55.639 --> 00:20:56.799
 children wiped

00:20:56.799 --> 00:20:57.579
 out in just

00:20:57.579 --> 00:20:58.180
 over a

00:20:58.180 --> 00:20:59.000
 month because

00:20:59.000 --> 00:20:59.460
 they don't

00:20:59.460 --> 00:20:59.859
 have enough

00:20:59.859 --> 00:21:00.319
 food.

00:21:05.660 --> 00:21:06.400
 Think of

00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:08.379
 that as

00:21:08.379 --> 00:21:08.980
 we stuff

00:21:08.980 --> 00:21:09.639
 our face

00:21:09.639 --> 00:21:11.079
 on Christmas

00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:11.480
 Day.

00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:15.599
 Stephen

00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:16.480
 Um,

00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:17.619
 who is a

00:21:17.619 --> 00:21:18.200
 pastor and

00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:18.579
 author,

00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:20.440
 puts it

00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:21.119
 like this,

00:21:22.059 --> 00:21:23.539
 children of

00:21:23.539 --> 00:21:24.339
 this world,

00:21:24.539 --> 00:21:25.400
 as in those

00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:26.039
 who live

00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:27.099
 for self,

00:21:28.420 --> 00:21:28.980
 ruthlessly

00:21:28.980 --> 00:21:29.859
 manage their

00:21:29.859 --> 00:21:30.700
 resources to

00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:31.400
 secure their

00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:31.940
 future.

00:21:33.259 --> 00:21:34.359
 Children of

00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:35.019
 God, those

00:21:35.019 --> 00:21:35.879
 who live by

00:21:35.879 --> 00:21:36.539
 faith,

00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:38.940
 graciously manage

00:21:38.940 --> 00:21:39.619
 their resources

00:21:39.619 --> 00:21:40.319
 because their

00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:41.960
 future is

00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:42.900
 already secure.

00:21:42.900 --> 00:21:43.000
 power.

00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:47.700
 So how do

00:21:47.700 --> 00:21:48.360
 you live?

00:21:50.280 --> 00:21:50.980
 Who are you

00:21:50.980 --> 00:21:51.400
 in this

00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:51.820
 story?

00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:54.380
 Do you

00:21:54.380 --> 00:21:54.780
 live for

00:21:54.780 --> 00:21:55.240
 self?

00:21:56.980 --> 00:21:57.880
 Or are we

00:21:57.880 --> 00:21:58.480
 people who

00:21:58.480 --> 00:21:58.960
 live by

00:21:58.960 --> 00:21:59.440
 faith?

00:22:02.500 --> 00:22:03.280
 So there

00:22:03.280 --> 00:22:03.720
 are two

00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:04.259
 kinds of

00:22:04.259 --> 00:22:04.620
 people,

00:22:06.220 --> 00:22:07.220
 two ways

00:22:07.220 --> 00:22:07.840
 to live,

00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:10.720
 and two

00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:11.699
 eternal

00:22:11.699 --> 00:22:12.959
 destinies.

00:22:16.299 --> 00:22:17.279
 Well, what

00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:18.059
 happens to

00:22:18.059 --> 00:22:19.220
 every person

00:22:19.220 --> 00:22:20.879
 happens to

00:22:20.879 --> 00:22:21.199
 them.

00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:23.879
 The time

00:22:23.879 --> 00:22:24.599
 came when

00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:25.740
 they died.

00:22:27.339 --> 00:22:28.539
 Rich or

00:22:28.539 --> 00:22:28.959
 poor,

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:31.539
 plenty or

00:22:31.539 --> 00:22:32.119
 in want,

00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:33.619
 we will

00:22:33.619 --> 00:22:34.659
 all die.

00:22:34.660 --> 00:22:36.980
 and how

00:22:36.980 --> 00:22:37.460
 we have

00:22:37.460 --> 00:22:37.980
 lived our

00:22:37.980 --> 00:22:39.700
 life on

00:22:39.700 --> 00:22:40.220
 this earth

00:22:40.220 --> 00:22:41.060
 will determine

00:22:41.060 --> 00:22:42.160
 our eternal

00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:42.779
 destiny.

00:22:44.360 --> 00:22:45.140
 The two

00:22:45.140 --> 00:22:46.080
 destinies

00:22:46.080 --> 00:22:47.480
 are spelled

00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:48.300
 out for us.

00:22:48.380 --> 00:22:48.920
 The first,

00:22:50.779 --> 00:22:51.640
 those who

00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:52.680
 are spiritually

00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:53.259
 poor,

00:22:54.580 --> 00:22:55.400
 those who

00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:56.279
 know they

00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:57.300
 desperately need

00:22:57.300 --> 00:22:57.840
 God's

00:22:57.840 --> 00:22:58.759
 intervention and

00:22:58.759 --> 00:22:59.000
 help,

00:22:59.320 --> 00:22:59.820
 those who

00:22:59.820 --> 00:23:00.740
 live by

00:23:00.740 --> 00:23:02.019
 faith can

00:23:02.019 --> 00:23:02.640
 look forward

00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:03.759
 to eternal

00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:04.300
 pleasures.

00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:05.860
 Look at

00:23:05.860 --> 00:23:06.600
 verse 22.

00:23:07.100 --> 00:23:07.620
 The time

00:23:07.620 --> 00:23:08.180
 came when

00:23:08.180 --> 00:23:08.740
 the beggar

00:23:08.740 --> 00:23:10.060
 died and

00:23:10.060 --> 00:23:10.900
 the angels

00:23:10.900 --> 00:23:11.759
 carried him

00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:13.120
 to Abraham's

00:23:13.120 --> 00:23:13.540
 side.

00:23:14.100 --> 00:23:14.460
 Abraham,

00:23:14.700 --> 00:23:15.060
 of course,

00:23:15.140 --> 00:23:15.580
 was the

00:23:15.580 --> 00:23:16.440
 great father

00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:17.080
 figure of

00:23:17.080 --> 00:23:18.000
 God's

00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:18.400
 children,

00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:19.200
 the man

00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:19.779
 of faith.

00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:22.800
 And so

00:23:22.800 --> 00:23:23.600
 to be at

00:23:23.600 --> 00:23:24.440
 Abraham's

00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:24.960
 side is

00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:25.880
 really in

00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:26.420
 a sense a

00:23:26.420 --> 00:23:26.860
 picture of

00:23:26.860 --> 00:23:28.279
 saying this

00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:28.759
 person,

00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:29.279
 Lazarus,

00:23:29.300 --> 00:23:29.980
 is now in

00:23:29.980 --> 00:23:30.740
 the presence

00:23:30.740 --> 00:23:31.380
 of God.

00:23:32.019 --> 00:23:32.720
 And he

00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:33.560
 now receives

00:23:33.560 --> 00:23:34.100
 a rich

00:23:34.099 --> 00:23:34.879
 welcome

00:23:34.879 --> 00:23:37.059
 into God's

00:23:37.059 --> 00:23:37.799
 heaven.

00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:39.799
 A place

00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:40.919
 of unceasing

00:23:40.919 --> 00:23:41.799
 joy and

00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:42.659
 eternal

00:23:42.659 --> 00:23:43.199
 pleasures.

00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:44.719
 Everything

00:23:44.719 --> 00:23:45.679
 that Lazarus

00:23:45.679 --> 00:23:46.559
 had experienced

00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:47.319
 in life

00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:48.339
 has now been

00:23:48.339 --> 00:23:49.379
 completely

00:23:49.379 --> 00:23:50.240
 switched and

00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:50.579
 reversed.

00:23:50.959 --> 00:23:51.500
 Again, look

00:23:51.500 --> 00:23:52.439
 at verse 25.

00:23:53.619 --> 00:23:54.679
 Abraham replied,

00:23:54.839 --> 00:23:55.419
 Son, remember

00:23:55.419 --> 00:23:55.919
 that in your

00:23:55.919 --> 00:23:56.599
 lifetime you

00:23:56.599 --> 00:23:57.179
 received your

00:23:57.179 --> 00:23:57.919
 good things

00:23:57.919 --> 00:23:59.219
 while Lazarus

00:23:59.219 --> 00:24:00.019
 received bad

00:24:00.019 --> 00:24:00.539
 things.

00:24:00.539 --> 00:24:02.659
 but now

00:24:02.659 --> 00:24:04.440
 Lazarus is

00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:05.119
 comforted

00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:06.879
 here and

00:24:06.879 --> 00:24:07.539
 you are in

00:24:07.539 --> 00:24:08.000
 agony.

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:10.839
 He's gone

00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:11.339
 from a

00:24:11.339 --> 00:24:12.079
 lifetime of

00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:12.759
 agony to

00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:13.740
 an eternity

00:24:13.740 --> 00:24:15.579
 of comfort.

00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:19.119
 Remember how

00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:19.839
 the psalmist

00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:20.420
 put it.

00:24:20.500 --> 00:24:21.019
 We read this

00:24:21.019 --> 00:24:21.440
 at the very

00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:21.879
 beginning

00:24:21.879 --> 00:24:23.759
 this morning.

00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:26.440
 Psalm 16

00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:27.099
 verse 11,

00:24:27.099 --> 00:24:27.659
 you made

00:24:27.659 --> 00:24:28.199
 known to

00:24:28.199 --> 00:24:28.599
 me the

00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:29.159
 path of

00:24:29.159 --> 00:24:29.539
 life.

00:24:30.579 --> 00:24:31.659
 You fill

00:24:31.659 --> 00:24:32.199
 me with

00:24:32.199 --> 00:24:33.199
 joy in

00:24:33.199 --> 00:24:34.139
 your presence,

00:24:35.339 --> 00:24:36.559
 with eternal

00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:37.199
 pleasures

00:24:37.199 --> 00:24:38.859
 at your

00:24:38.859 --> 00:24:39.639
 right hand.

00:24:40.439 --> 00:24:41.319
 That is the

00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:41.779
 wonderful

00:24:41.779 --> 00:24:42.480
 destiny

00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:44.139
 of those

00:24:44.139 --> 00:24:45.339
 who are

00:24:45.339 --> 00:24:46.039
 spiritually

00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:46.719
 poor and

00:24:46.719 --> 00:24:47.159
 those who

00:24:47.159 --> 00:24:48.459
 live by

00:24:48.459 --> 00:24:49.459
 faith.

00:24:49.460 --> 00:24:53.500
 but there

00:24:53.500 --> 00:24:53.920
 is another

00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:54.779
 destiny that

00:24:54.779 --> 00:24:55.279
 is spelled

00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:55.680
 out.

00:24:57.759 --> 00:24:58.720
 For those

00:24:58.720 --> 00:24:59.539
 who live

00:24:59.539 --> 00:25:00.700
 for material

00:25:00.700 --> 00:25:01.380
 wealth,

00:25:02.600 --> 00:25:04.720
 for those

00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:05.440
 who live

00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:06.539
 for self,

00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:09.980
 will experience

00:25:09.980 --> 00:25:10.720
 eternal

00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:11.460
 suffering.

00:25:12.980 --> 00:25:13.420
 Look at

00:25:13.420 --> 00:25:13.880
 the second

00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:14.380
 part of

00:25:14.380 --> 00:25:15.059
 verse 22.

00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:15.579
 The rich

00:25:15.579 --> 00:25:16.259
 man also

00:25:16.259 --> 00:25:17.700
 died and

00:25:17.700 --> 00:25:18.259
 was buried.

00:25:19.460 --> 00:25:20.240
 in

00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:21.000
 Hades

00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:21.779
 where he

00:25:21.779 --> 00:25:22.259
 was in

00:25:22.259 --> 00:25:22.819
 torment.

00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:25.299
 Hades

00:25:25.299 --> 00:25:26.259
 simply means

00:25:26.259 --> 00:25:26.900
 the realm

00:25:26.900 --> 00:25:27.240
 of the

00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:27.600
 dead.

00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:29.440
 In other

00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:29.799
 words,

00:25:30.220 --> 00:25:31.340
 he's talking

00:25:31.340 --> 00:25:32.019
 here about

00:25:32.019 --> 00:25:32.600
 hell.

00:25:34.460 --> 00:25:35.380
 And while

00:25:35.380 --> 00:25:36.220
 we don't

00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:37.160
 know everything

00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:38.319
 about hell,

00:25:38.420 --> 00:25:38.840
 just as we

00:25:38.840 --> 00:25:39.220
 don't know

00:25:39.220 --> 00:25:40.160
 what everything

00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:40.680
 is going to

00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:41.259
 be like in

00:25:41.259 --> 00:25:41.559
 heaven,

00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:43.039
 there are

00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:43.740
 three things

00:25:43.740 --> 00:25:44.319
 here I think

00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:44.660
 in this

00:25:44.660 --> 00:25:45.299
 text that

00:25:45.299 --> 00:25:46.079
 tell us

00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:47.400
 what we

00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:47.759
 can be

00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:48.299
 sure of

00:25:48.299 --> 00:25:48.920
 about hell.

00:25:49.460 --> 00:25:51.160
 First,

00:25:52.660 --> 00:25:53.480
 hell is a

00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:53.920
 conscious

00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:55.220
 reality.

00:25:56.100 --> 00:25:56.860
 It's a

00:25:56.860 --> 00:25:57.380
 conscious

00:25:57.380 --> 00:25:58.120
 reality,

00:25:58.259 --> 00:25:59.000
 verse 24.

00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:00.940
 Do you

00:26:00.940 --> 00:26:01.319
 see what he

00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:02.039
 cries out?

00:26:03.620 --> 00:26:04.240
 Father

00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:04.740
 Abraham,

00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:05.620
 have pity

00:26:05.620 --> 00:26:06.200
 on me

00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:07.759
 and send

00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:08.400
 Lazarus to

00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:09.000
 dip the tip

00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:09.360
 of his

00:26:09.360 --> 00:26:10.000
 finger in

00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:11.019
 water and

00:26:11.019 --> 00:26:11.700
 cool my

00:26:11.700 --> 00:26:12.680
 tongue because

00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:13.279
 I am in

00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:13.900
 agony in

00:26:13.900 --> 00:26:14.460
 this fire.

00:26:14.460 --> 00:26:17.340
 many people

00:26:17.340 --> 00:26:18.079
 think that

00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:18.920
 when we

00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:19.240
 die,

00:26:19.380 --> 00:26:19.779
 that's it,

00:26:19.819 --> 00:26:20.160
 we just

00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:20.720
 die.

00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:22.700
 It's an

00:26:22.700 --> 00:26:23.360
 eternal

00:26:23.360 --> 00:26:25.200
 unconsciousness.

00:26:27.539 --> 00:26:28.319
 There's no

00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:29.559
 more feeling

00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:30.400
 or anything

00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:30.920
 else.

00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:32.279
 Believers,

00:26:32.500 --> 00:26:32.700
 yes,

00:26:32.779 --> 00:26:33.380
 they live for

00:26:33.380 --> 00:26:33.860
 eternity,

00:26:34.299 --> 00:26:34.960
 but those

00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:35.720
 who do not

00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:36.039
 believe,

00:26:36.140 --> 00:26:36.519
 they just

00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:37.059
 die and

00:26:37.059 --> 00:26:37.519
 it just

00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:38.059
 finishes.

00:26:38.059 --> 00:26:41.319
 But that's

00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:41.980
 not true.

00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:44.039
 The rich

00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:45.240
 man is in

00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:45.819
 hell and

00:26:45.819 --> 00:26:47.119
 he can feel

00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:48.059
 his senses

00:26:48.059 --> 00:26:48.879
 are working

00:26:48.879 --> 00:26:49.679
 and he

00:26:49.679 --> 00:26:50.679
 longs for

00:26:50.679 --> 00:26:51.299
 relief.

00:26:53.700 --> 00:26:54.659
 It's a

00:26:54.659 --> 00:26:55.159
 conscious

00:26:55.159 --> 00:26:55.940
 reality.

00:26:55.940 --> 00:27:01.320
 second,

00:27:01.580 --> 00:27:02.080
 it is

00:27:02.080 --> 00:27:03.000
 unending

00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:03.779
 suffering.

00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:06.019
 The rich

00:27:06.019 --> 00:27:06.840
 man twice

00:27:06.840 --> 00:27:07.900
 describes where

00:27:07.900 --> 00:27:08.620
 he is as

00:27:08.620 --> 00:27:09.460
 torment

00:27:09.460 --> 00:27:11.420
 and agony.

00:27:12.420 --> 00:27:12.960
 Look at the

00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:13.460
 end of verse

00:27:13.460 --> 00:27:14.180
 28.

00:27:14.600 --> 00:27:14.920
 He's

00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:15.519
 pleading,

00:27:15.660 --> 00:27:16.059
 he says,

00:27:16.120 --> 00:27:16.559
 so that they

00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:17.039
 will not

00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:17.500
 come to

00:27:17.500 --> 00:27:18.380
 this place

00:27:18.380 --> 00:27:19.960
 of torment.

00:27:21.500 --> 00:27:22.140
 It's a

00:27:22.140 --> 00:27:22.700
 place of

00:27:22.700 --> 00:27:23.600
 unending

00:27:23.600 --> 00:27:24.640
 suffering.

00:27:25.940 --> 00:27:26.620
 Now,

00:27:26.620 --> 00:27:27.360
 it's hard

00:27:27.360 --> 00:27:27.860
 for us

00:27:27.860 --> 00:27:28.559
 to imagine

00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:29.299
 what that

00:27:29.299 --> 00:27:30.120
 would actually

00:27:30.120 --> 00:27:30.779
 be like.

00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:34.759
 But we

00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:35.120
 can be

00:27:35.120 --> 00:27:36.519
 sure it

00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:36.880
 is the

00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:37.820
 absence of

00:27:37.820 --> 00:27:40.220
 peace and

00:27:40.220 --> 00:27:42.440
 rest and

00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:43.380
 contentment.

00:27:44.820 --> 00:27:45.380
 No

00:27:45.380 --> 00:27:46.059
 kindness,

00:27:47.100 --> 00:27:48.039
 no

00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:48.740
 compassion,

00:27:50.080 --> 00:27:50.759
 no

00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:51.259
 mercy.

00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:52.820
 An

00:27:52.820 --> 00:27:53.340
 endless

00:27:53.340 --> 00:27:54.320
 cycle of

00:27:54.320 --> 00:27:55.279
 doing wrong

00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:55.879
 and

00:27:55.879 --> 00:27:56.519
 punishment

00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:57.139
 and

00:27:57.139 --> 00:27:57.480
 doing

00:27:57.480 --> 00:27:58.019
 wrong

00:27:58.019 --> 00:27:58.519
 and

00:27:58.519 --> 00:27:59.119
 punishment

00:27:59.119 --> 00:27:59.539
 and

00:27:59.539 --> 00:27:59.859
 doing

00:27:59.859 --> 00:28:00.180
 wrong

00:28:00.180 --> 00:28:00.359
 and

00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:00.740
 punishment

00:28:00.740 --> 00:28:01.379
 and

00:28:01.379 --> 00:28:01.660
 no

00:28:01.660 --> 00:28:02.180
 end.

00:28:05.139 --> 00:28:06.099
 On and

00:28:06.099 --> 00:28:06.619
 on it

00:28:06.619 --> 00:28:07.099
 goes.

00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:09.599
 Year

00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:10.359
 after year.

00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:13.440
 It's

00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:13.819
 life

00:28:13.819 --> 00:28:15.139
 without

00:28:15.139 --> 00:28:15.740
 God.

00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:19.359
 Which

00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:19.819
 shows us

00:28:19.819 --> 00:28:20.279
 the third

00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:20.740
 picture.

00:28:20.740 --> 00:28:23.000
 it is

00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:23.579
 eternal

00:28:23.579 --> 00:28:24.480
 separation.

00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:25.620
 Verse 26.

00:28:27.500 --> 00:28:27.960
 He says,

00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:28.839
 besides all

00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:29.279
 of this,

00:28:29.380 --> 00:28:30.180
 between us

00:28:30.180 --> 00:28:30.759
 and you,

00:28:31.099 --> 00:28:31.640
 a great

00:28:31.640 --> 00:28:32.799
 chasm has

00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:33.319
 been set

00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:33.839
 in place

00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:34.480
 so that

00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:34.940
 those who

00:28:34.940 --> 00:28:35.279
 want to

00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:35.700
 go from

00:28:35.700 --> 00:28:36.599
 here to

00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:36.880
 you

00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:37.240
 cannot

00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:38.240
 and those

00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:38.620
 who want

00:28:38.620 --> 00:28:38.980
 to cross

00:28:38.980 --> 00:28:39.440
 over from

00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:40.359
 there to

00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:40.640
 us

00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:41.220
 can't.

00:28:43.400 --> 00:28:43.880
 Hell

00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:44.599
 is

00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:45.539
 separate

00:28:45.539 --> 00:28:46.400
 from

00:28:46.400 --> 00:28:46.759
 heaven.

00:28:48.059 --> 00:28:48.400
 There's

00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:48.960
 no point

00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:49.400
 in trying

00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:49.799
 to think

00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:50.519
 that somehow

00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:51.460
 through the

00:28:51.460 --> 00:28:51.980
 course of

00:28:51.980 --> 00:28:52.539
 eternity

00:28:52.539 --> 00:28:52.880
 they're

00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:53.220
 somehow

00:28:53.220 --> 00:28:54.200
 going to

00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:54.860
 merge.

00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:56.779
 They're

00:28:56.779 --> 00:28:57.279
 not.

00:28:59.079 --> 00:28:59.640
 People

00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:00.079
 who are

00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:00.579
 in hell

00:29:00.579 --> 00:29:01.279
 will be

00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:01.660
 in hell.

00:29:01.779 --> 00:29:02.039
 People

00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:02.340
 who are

00:29:02.340 --> 00:29:02.900
 in heaven

00:29:02.900 --> 00:29:03.880
 will be

00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:04.440
 in heaven.

00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:08.400
 It's

00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:08.980
 separation

00:29:08.980 --> 00:29:09.920
 from God.

00:29:11.100 --> 00:29:11.500
 And

00:29:11.500 --> 00:29:12.079
 separation

00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:12.759
 from God

00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:13.500
 is separation

00:29:13.500 --> 00:29:14.200
 from all

00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:14.579
 that is

00:29:14.579 --> 00:29:15.279
 good and

00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:15.779
 beautiful

00:29:15.779 --> 00:29:16.579
 for all

00:29:16.579 --> 00:29:17.160
 eternity.

00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:19.279
 imagine

00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:19.519
 an

00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:20.120
 eternity

00:29:20.120 --> 00:29:20.560
 without

00:29:20.560 --> 00:29:21.060
 the

00:29:21.060 --> 00:29:21.320
 good

00:29:21.320 --> 00:29:21.680
 gifts

00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:21.900
 of

00:29:21.900 --> 00:29:22.259
 God.

00:29:22.740 --> 00:29:23.220
 Laughter,

00:29:25.259 --> 00:29:26.000
 creativity,

00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:28.200
 joy,

00:29:28.620 --> 00:29:29.100
 happiness,

00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:30.259
 love,

00:29:31.560 --> 00:29:32.100
 peace,

00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:33.259
 and friendship

00:29:33.259 --> 00:29:34.320
 and comfort.

00:29:37.320 --> 00:29:37.960
 Imagine

00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:38.220
 an

00:29:38.220 --> 00:29:38.820
 eternity

00:29:38.820 --> 00:29:39.240
 without

00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:39.680
 any

00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:40.180
 justice

00:29:40.180 --> 00:29:40.500
 or

00:29:40.500 --> 00:29:40.980
 forgiveness.

00:29:40.980 --> 00:29:41.259
 happiness.

00:29:50.039 --> 00:29:50.599
 It's

00:29:50.599 --> 00:29:50.900
 what we

00:29:50.900 --> 00:29:51.140
 all

00:29:51.140 --> 00:29:51.680
 deserve

00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:54.799
 because

00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:55.240
 we are

00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:55.920
 all rich

00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:58.740
 and we've

00:29:58.740 --> 00:29:59.120
 all been

00:29:59.120 --> 00:29:59.519
 greedy

00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:02.140
 and we've

00:30:02.140 --> 00:30:02.720
 all wasted

00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:03.440
 the resources

00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:04.000
 that God

00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:04.460
 has given

00:30:04.460 --> 00:30:06.059
 while

00:30:06.059 --> 00:30:06.599
 countless

00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:07.339
 millions

00:30:07.339 --> 00:30:08.099
 starve

00:30:08.099 --> 00:30:08.680
 and die

00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:09.200
 every

00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:09.559
 single

00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:09.900
 day.

00:30:10.980 --> 00:30:13.860
 You see,

00:30:13.940 --> 00:30:14.440
 Jesus has

00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:15.079
 already told

00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:15.599
 us about

00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:15.960
 these

00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:16.559
 destinies.

00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:16.880
 Have a

00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:17.279
 look back

00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:17.460

 looking at

 eternal

00:31:50.460 --> 00:31:51.059
 suffering

00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:02.799
 are we

00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:03.099
 in the

00:32:03.099 --> 00:32:03.460
 story?

00:32:06.399 --> 00:32:07.279
 What

00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:07.759
 is your

00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:08.339
 destiny?

00:32:09.700 --> 00:32:10.599
 What

00:32:10.599 --> 00:32:11.039
 is my

00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:11.539
 destiny?

00:32:11.539 --> 00:32:11.639
 destiny.

00:32:18.579 --> 00:32:19.659
 The next

00:32:19.659 --> 00:32:20.539
 heading I

00:32:20.539 --> 00:32:21.659
 changed so

00:32:21.659 --> 00:32:22.059
 it should

00:32:22.059 --> 00:32:22.460
 read

00:32:22.460 --> 00:32:23.319
 secure

00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:24.720
 future.

00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:25.460
 Secure

00:32:25.460 --> 00:32:26.000
 future.

00:32:26.899 --> 00:32:27.779
 As we

00:32:27.779 --> 00:32:28.339
 think about

00:32:28.339 --> 00:32:29.059
 these two

00:32:29.059 --> 00:32:29.879

00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:32.579
 we

00:32:32.579 --> 00:32:33.299
 mustn't

00:32:33.299 --> 00:32:34.180
 think that

00:32:34.180 --> 00:32:34.639
 God is

00:32:34.639 --> 00:32:35.019
 somehow

00:32:35.019 --> 00:32:35.879
 unfair.

00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:38.220
 That

00:32:38.220 --> 00:32:38.599
 somehow

00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:39.039
 well

00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:40.839
 God is

00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:41.519
 not told

00:32:41.519 --> 00:32:41.960
 me and

00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:42.859
 God never

00:32:42.859 --> 00:32:43.440
 warned me

00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:44.099
 and if

00:32:44.099 --> 00:32:44.759
 I knew

00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:45.619
 that life

00:32:45.619 --> 00:32:46.019
 would end

00:32:46.019 --> 00:32:46.400
 up like

00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:46.799
 this then

00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:47.279
 I would

00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:47.619
 have done

00:32:47.619 --> 00:32:48.059
 something

00:32:48.059 --> 00:32:48.819
 about it.

00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:51.039
 If God

00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:51.700
 wanted me

00:32:51.700 --> 00:32:52.160
 to believe

00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:52.619
 if God

00:32:52.619 --> 00:32:53.099
 wanted me

00:32:53.099 --> 00:32:53.680
 to change

00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:54.039
 how I

00:32:54.039 --> 00:32:54.539
 thought about

00:32:54.539 --> 00:32:55.099
 my money

00:32:55.099 --> 00:32:55.379
 and the

00:32:55.379 --> 00:32:55.859
 resources

00:32:55.859 --> 00:32:56.279
 that I

00:32:56.279 --> 00:32:56.660
 have

00:32:56.660 --> 00:32:57.539
 well then

00:32:57.539 --> 00:32:57.839
 he would

00:32:57.839 --> 00:32:58.180
 have done

00:32:58.180 --> 00:32:58.519
 some

00:32:58.519 --> 00:32:58.920
 miracle

00:32:58.920 --> 00:32:59.759
 and I

00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:00.039
 would have

00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:00.599
 changed

00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:01.339
 my attitude.

00:33:04.980 --> 00:33:05.500
 Well

00:33:05.500 --> 00:33:05.900
 God is

00:33:05.900 --> 00:33:06.139
 not

00:33:06.139 --> 00:33:06.639
 unfair.

00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:08.680
 God

00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:09.180
 has been

00:33:09.180 --> 00:33:09.759
 crystal

00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:10.180
 clear.

00:33:10.180 --> 00:33:11.759
 look at

00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:12.640
 verse 27

00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:15.580
 he

00:33:15.580 --> 00:33:16.120
 answered

00:33:16.120 --> 00:33:16.799
 the rich

00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:17.140
 man

00:33:17.140 --> 00:33:17.779
 answered

00:33:17.779 --> 00:33:18.860
 then I

00:33:18.860 --> 00:33:19.340
 beg you

00:33:19.340 --> 00:33:19.660
 father

00:33:19.660 --> 00:33:20.080
 send

00:33:20.080 --> 00:33:20.660
 Lazarus

00:33:20.660 --> 00:33:21.019
 to my

00:33:21.019 --> 00:33:21.539
 family

00:33:21.539 --> 00:33:22.660
 for I

00:33:22.660 --> 00:33:22.900
 have

00:33:22.900 --> 00:33:23.480
 five

00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:23.960
 brothers

00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:25.340
 let him

00:33:25.340 --> 00:33:25.660
 warn

00:33:25.660 --> 00:33:26.019
 them

00:33:26.019 --> 00:33:26.440
 so that

00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:26.580
 they

00:33:26.580 --> 00:33:27.019
 will not

00:33:27.019 --> 00:33:27.519
 also

00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:27.980
 come to

00:33:27.980 --> 00:33:28.180
 this

00:33:28.180 --> 00:33:28.519
 place

00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:28.700
 of

00:33:28.700 --> 00:33:29.120
 torment.

00:33:29.820 --> 00:33:29.960
 Look

00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:30.700
 if I

00:33:30.700 --> 00:33:30.840
 had

00:33:30.840 --> 00:33:31.180
 known

00:33:31.180 --> 00:33:31.620
 how

00:33:31.620 --> 00:33:31.820
 my

00:33:31.820 --> 00:33:32.120
 life

00:33:32.120 --> 00:33:32.299
 was

00:33:32.299 --> 00:33:32.539
 going

00:33:32.539 --> 00:33:32.740
 to

00:33:32.740 --> 00:33:33.019
 end

00:33:33.019 --> 00:33:34.019
 then

00:33:34.019 --> 00:33:34.200
 I

00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:34.380
 could

00:33:34.380 --> 00:33:34.500
 have

00:33:34.500 --> 00:33:34.700
 done

00:33:34.700 --> 00:33:35.100
 something

00:33:35.100 --> 00:33:35.440
 about

00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:35.600
 it

00:33:35.600 --> 00:33:35.779
 so

00:33:35.779 --> 00:33:36.560
 why

00:33:36.560 --> 00:33:36.880
 don't

00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:37.019
 you

00:33:37.019 --> 00:33:37.180
 go

00:33:37.180 --> 00:33:37.360
 and

00:33:37.360 --> 00:33:37.519
 tell

00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:37.740
 my

00:33:37.740 --> 00:33:38.060
 brother

00:33:38.060 --> 00:33:38.320
 so

00:33:38.320 --> 00:33:38.480
 that

00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:38.680
 they

00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:38.940
 don't

00:33:38.940 --> 00:33:39.160
 end

00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:39.299
 up

00:33:39.299 --> 00:33:39.419
 in

00:33:39.419 --> 00:33:39.539
 the

00:33:39.539 --> 00:33:39.779
 same

00:33:39.779 --> 00:33:40.079
 way

00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:42.720
 verse 29

00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:43.180
 Abraham

00:33:43.180 --> 00:33:43.759
 replied

00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:44.599
 they

00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:44.940
 have

00:33:44.940 --> 00:33:45.440
 Moses

00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:45.919
 and

00:33:45.919 --> 00:33:46.079
 the

00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:46.639
 prophets

00:33:46.639 --> 00:33:48.480
 let

00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:48.680
 them

00:33:48.680 --> 00:33:48.960
 listen

00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:49.159
 to

00:33:49.159 --> 00:33:49.480
 them

00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:51.759
 the

00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:52.119
 point

00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:52.639
 is

00:33:52.639 --> 00:33:54.419
 the

00:33:54.419 --> 00:33:54.720
 rich

00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:55.019
 man

00:33:55.019 --> 00:33:55.359
 had

00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:55.619
 the

00:33:55.619 --> 00:33:56.039
 same

00:33:56.039 --> 00:33:56.720
 message

00:33:56.720 --> 00:33:57.119
 too

00:33:57.119 --> 00:33:58.059
 he

00:33:58.059 --> 00:33:58.319
 had

00:33:58.319 --> 00:33:58.539
 the

00:33:58.539 --> 00:33:58.819
 same

00:33:58.819 --> 00:33:59.359
 scriptures

00:33:59.359 --> 00:33:59.720
 the

00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:00.480
 message

00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:00.740
 of

00:34:00.740 --> 00:34:00.940
 the

00:34:00.940 --> 00:34:01.859
 Moses

00:34:01.859 --> 00:34:02.220
 and

00:34:02.220 --> 00:34:02.500
 the

00:34:02.500 --> 00:34:02.859
 prophets

00:34:02.859 --> 00:34:03.139
 that

00:34:03.139 --> 00:34:03.279
 was

00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:03.440
 the

00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:03.680
 Old

00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:04.139
 Testament

00:34:04.140 --> 00:34:06.180
 it

00:34:06.180 --> 00:34:06.259
 is

00:34:06.259 --> 00:34:06.460
 not

00:34:06.460 --> 00:34:06.660
 that

00:34:06.660 --> 00:34:06.880
 no

00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:07.040
 one

00:34:07.040 --> 00:34:07.400
 told

00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:07.620
 him

00:34:07.620 --> 00:34:08.099
 it

00:34:08.099 --> 00:34:08.160
 is

00:34:08.160 --> 00:34:08.320
 that

00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:08.519
 he

00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:08.880
 just

00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:09.240
 never

00:34:09.240 --> 00:34:09.980
 listened

00:34:09.980 --> 00:34:13.140
 verse

00:34:13.140 --> 00:34:13.640
 30

00:34:13.640 --> 00:34:15.160
 no

00:34:15.160 --> 00:34:15.880
 father

00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:16.500
 Abraham

00:34:16.500 --> 00:34:17.820
 the

00:34:17.820 --> 00:34:18.340
 message

00:34:18.340 --> 00:34:18.700
 of the

00:34:18.700 --> 00:34:19.039
 scriptures

00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:19.519
 aren't

00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:19.920
 enough

00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:21.300
 but

00:34:21.300 --> 00:34:21.619
 if

00:34:21.619 --> 00:34:21.980
 someone

00:34:21.980 --> 00:34:22.260
 from

00:34:22.260 --> 00:34:22.440
 the

00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:22.760
 dead

00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:23.099
 goes

00:34:23.099 --> 00:34:23.280
 to

00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:23.460
 them

00:34:23.460 --> 00:34:24.140
 they

00:34:24.140 --> 00:34:24.380
 will

00:34:24.380 --> 00:34:24.840
 repent

00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:25.280
 then

00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:25.740
 they'll

00:34:25.740 --> 00:34:26.099
 change

00:34:26.099 --> 00:34:26.300
 their

00:34:26.300 --> 00:34:26.760
 lives

00:34:26.760 --> 00:34:28.460
 why

00:34:28.460 --> 00:34:28.700
 don't

00:34:28.700 --> 00:34:28.820
 you

00:34:28.820 --> 00:34:28.980
 do

00:34:28.980 --> 00:34:29.140
 a

00:34:29.140 --> 00:34:29.500
 miracle

00:34:29.500 --> 00:34:30.240
 just

00:34:30.240 --> 00:34:30.680
 make

00:34:30.680 --> 00:34:31.079
 somebody

00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:31.500
 rise

00:34:31.500 --> 00:34:31.660
 from

00:34:31.660 --> 00:34:31.800
 the

00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:32.000
 dead

00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:32.599
 then

00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:32.840
 they'll

00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:33.200
 certainly

00:34:33.200 --> 00:34:33.660
 change

00:34:33.659 --> 00:34:33.839
 their

00:34:33.839 --> 00:34:34.099
 ways

00:34:34.099 --> 00:34:34.219
 and

00:34:34.219 --> 00:34:34.379
 they'll

00:34:34.379 --> 00:34:34.739
 certainly

00:34:34.739 --> 00:34:35.339
 believe

00:34:35.339 --> 00:34:37.879
 verse

00:34:37.879 --> 00:34:38.299
 31

00:34:38.299 --> 00:34:38.739
 he said

00:34:38.739 --> 00:34:38.859
 to

00:34:38.859 --> 00:34:39.000
 them

00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:39.119
 if

00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:39.279
 they

00:34:39.279 --> 00:34:39.460
 do

00:34:39.460 --> 00:34:39.699
 not

00:34:39.699 --> 00:34:40.079
 listen

00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:40.339
 to

00:34:40.339 --> 00:34:40.659
 Moses

00:34:40.659 --> 00:34:40.899
 and

00:34:40.899 --> 00:34:41.039
 the

00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:41.559
 prophets

00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:43.259
 they

00:34:43.259 --> 00:34:43.500
 will

00:34:43.500 --> 00:34:43.879
 not

00:34:43.879 --> 00:34:44.159
 be

00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:44.699
 convinced

00:34:44.699 --> 00:34:45.079
 even

00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:45.319
 if

00:34:45.319 --> 00:34:45.739
 someone

00:34:45.739 --> 00:34:46.239
 rises

00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:46.639
 from

00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:46.859
 the

00:34:46.859 --> 00:34:47.199
 dead

00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:52.460
 now

00:34:52.460 --> 00:34:52.739
 don't

00:34:52.739 --> 00:34:52.940
 we

00:34:52.940 --> 00:34:53.179
 have

00:34:53.179 --> 00:34:53.339
 the

00:34:53.339 --> 00:34:53.679
 message

00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:53.879
 of

00:34:53.879 --> 00:34:54.019
 the

00:34:54.019 --> 00:34:54.299
 Bible

00:34:54.299 --> 00:34:54.719
 before

00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:55.139
 us

00:34:55.139 --> 00:34:56.480
 is

00:34:56.480 --> 00:34:56.679
 not

00:34:56.679 --> 00:34:56.819
 what

00:34:56.819 --> 00:34:57.000
 we're

00:34:57.000 --> 00:34:57.319
 holding

00:34:57.319 --> 00:34:57.519
 in

00:34:57.519 --> 00:34:57.679
 our

00:34:57.679 --> 00:34:58.000
 hands

00:34:58.000 --> 00:34:58.279
 right

00:34:58.279 --> 00:34:58.619
 now

00:34:58.619 --> 00:35:01.219
 and

00:35:01.219 --> 00:35:01.500
 and

00:35:01.500 --> 00:35:02.119
 and

00:35:02.119 --> 00:35:02.579
 didn't

00:35:02.579 --> 00:35:03.119
 someone

00:35:03.119 --> 00:35:03.619
 rise

00:35:03.619 --> 00:35:03.839
 from

00:35:03.839 --> 00:35:04.019
 the

00:35:04.019 --> 00:35:04.359
 dead

00:35:04.359 --> 00:35:07.219
 you

00:35:07.219 --> 00:35:07.460
 see

00:35:07.460 --> 00:35:07.880
 God

00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:08.099
 has

00:35:08.099 --> 00:35:08.380
 not

00:35:08.380 --> 00:35:08.799
 left

00:35:08.799 --> 00:35:09.339
 us

00:35:09.339 --> 00:35:10.639
 without

00:35:10.639 --> 00:35:11.480
 excuse

00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:15.819
 remember

00:35:15.819 --> 00:35:16.339
 where we

00:35:16.339 --> 00:35:17.059
 are in

00:35:17.059 --> 00:35:18.000
 Luke's

00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:18.579
 account of

00:35:18.579 --> 00:35:18.739
 the

00:35:18.739 --> 00:35:19.119
 gospel

00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:21.599
 as we've

00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:22.159
 been working

00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:22.839
 our way

00:35:22.839 --> 00:35:23.119
 through

00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:23.519
 remember

00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:23.779
 that

00:35:23.779 --> 00:35:24.159
 turning

00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:24.519
 point

00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:24.779
 in

00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:29.039
 Jesus

00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:29.519
 says

00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:29.920
 I'm

00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:30.299
 on my

00:35:30.299 --> 00:35:30.559
 way

00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:30.739
 to

00:35:30.739 --> 00:35:31.259
 Jerusalem

00:35:31.260 --> 00:35:33.120
 Jerusalem

00:35:33.120 --> 00:35:33.640
 is going

00:35:33.640 --> 00:35:33.920
 to be

00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:34.100
 the

00:35:34.100 --> 00:35:34.460
 place

00:35:34.460 --> 00:35:34.600
 of

00:35:34.600 --> 00:35:35.160
 execution

00:35:35.160 --> 00:35:35.480
 in

00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:36.000
 Jerusalem

00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:36.420
 Jesus

00:35:36.420 --> 00:35:36.660
 is

00:35:36.660 --> 00:35:36.860
 going

00:35:36.860 --> 00:35:37.020
 to

00:35:37.020 --> 00:35:37.260
 die

00:35:37.260 --> 00:35:37.940
 Jesus

00:35:37.940 --> 00:35:38.240
 is

00:35:38.240 --> 00:35:38.540
 going

00:35:38.540 --> 00:35:38.900
 to

00:35:38.900 --> 00:35:39.140
 the

00:35:39.140 --> 00:35:39.660
 cross

00:35:39.660 --> 00:35:42.440
 these

00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:42.740
 are the

00:35:42.740 --> 00:35:43.100
 sorts

00:35:43.100 --> 00:35:43.280
 of

00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:43.600
 things

00:35:43.600 --> 00:35:44.040
 Jesus

00:35:44.040 --> 00:35:44.320
 is

00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:44.740
 teaching

00:35:44.740 --> 00:35:45.320
 with

00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:46.120
 urgency

00:35:46.120 --> 00:35:47.860
 as he

00:35:47.860 --> 00:35:48.140
 makes

00:35:48.140 --> 00:35:48.500
 his way

00:35:48.500 --> 00:35:48.820
 to the

00:35:48.820 --> 00:35:49.280
 cross

00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:52.200
 and

00:35:52.200 --> 00:35:52.580
 after

00:35:52.580 --> 00:35:53.020
 Jesus

00:35:53.020 --> 00:35:53.460
 dies

00:35:53.460 --> 00:35:53.800
 on the

00:35:53.800 --> 00:35:54.260
 cross

00:35:54.260 --> 00:35:55.840
 I want

00:35:55.840 --> 00:35:56.140
 us to

00:35:56.140 --> 00:35:56.400
 look at

00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:56.620
 these

00:35:56.620 --> 00:35:57.320
 extraordinary

00:35:57.320 --> 00:35:57.900
 words

00:35:57.900 --> 00:35:58.200
 that

00:35:58.200 --> 00:35:58.500
 Jesus

00:35:58.500 --> 00:35:59.099
 speaks

00:35:59.099 --> 00:36:00.260
 go to

00:36:00.260 --> 00:36:00.519
 Luke

00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:00.860
 chapter

00:36:00.860 --> 00:36:01.619
 24

00:36:01.619 --> 00:36:03.079
 just a

00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:03.280
 few

00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:03.660
 pages

00:36:03.660 --> 00:36:04.000
 on

00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:05.519
 Luke

00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:05.820
 chapter

00:36:05.820 --> 00:36:06.599
 24

00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:07.780
 verse

00:36:07.780 --> 00:36:08.559
 25

00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:12.340
 so all

00:36:12.340 --> 00:36:12.740
 the while

00:36:12.740 --> 00:36:13.440
 Jesus is

00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:13.920
 saying I'm

00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:14.320
 going to

00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:14.760
 the cross

00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:15.220
 I'm going

00:36:15.220 --> 00:36:15.780
 to die

00:36:15.780 --> 00:36:17.180
 and then

00:36:17.180 --> 00:36:17.460
 when we

00:36:17.460 --> 00:36:17.840
 get to

00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:18.000
 Luke

00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:18.559
 24

00:36:18.559 --> 00:36:19.820
 we've

00:36:19.820 --> 00:36:20.079
 already

00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:20.559
 read at

00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:20.740
 this

00:36:20.740 --> 00:36:21.019
 stage

00:36:21.019 --> 00:36:21.240
 that

00:36:21.240 --> 00:36:21.539
 Jesus

00:36:21.539 --> 00:36:22.019
 has

00:36:22.019 --> 00:36:22.559
 died

00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:24.019
 and now

00:36:24.019 --> 00:36:24.400
 he is

00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:24.780
 risen

00:36:24.780 --> 00:36:25.139
 again

00:36:25.139 --> 00:36:25.519
 and now

00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:26.079
 he speaks

00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:26.500
 to his

00:36:26.500 --> 00:36:27.039
 disciples

00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:28.079
 verse 25

00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:29.559
 he said

00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:30.059
 to them

00:36:30.059 --> 00:36:31.400
 how foolish

00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:32.059
 you are

00:36:32.059 --> 00:36:32.759
 and how

00:36:32.759 --> 00:36:33.420
 slow to

00:36:33.420 --> 00:36:33.860
 believe

00:36:33.860 --> 00:36:34.679
 all that

00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:35.300
 the prophets

00:36:35.300 --> 00:36:36.019
 have spoken

00:36:36.019 --> 00:36:38.139
 did not

00:36:38.139 --> 00:36:38.759
 the Messiah

00:36:38.759 --> 00:36:39.619
 have to

00:36:39.619 --> 00:36:40.219
 suffer these

00:36:40.219 --> 00:36:40.739
 things and

00:36:40.739 --> 00:36:41.219
 then enter

00:36:41.219 --> 00:36:41.820
 his glory

00:36:41.820 --> 00:36:42.619
 and beginning

00:36:42.619 --> 00:36:43.320
 with Moses

00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:44.019
 and all the

00:36:44.019 --> 00:36:44.360
 prophets

00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:45.159
 he explained

00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:45.539
 to them

00:36:45.539 --> 00:36:46.539
 what was

00:36:46.539 --> 00:36:47.139
 said in

00:36:47.139 --> 00:36:47.779
 all the

00:36:47.779 --> 00:36:48.179
 scriptures

00:36:48.179 --> 00:36:48.900
 concerning

00:36:48.900 --> 00:36:49.460
 himself

00:36:49.460 --> 00:36:50.659
 so Jesus

00:36:50.659 --> 00:36:51.199
 takes them

00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:51.559
 through the

00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:52.360
 big story

00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:52.679
 of the

00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:52.960
 Bible

00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:53.320
 and says

00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:53.860
 listen

00:36:53.860 --> 00:36:54.199
 guys

00:36:54.199 --> 00:36:54.619
 it's all

00:36:54.619 --> 00:36:55.079
 about me

00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:55.380
 if you

00:36:55.380 --> 00:36:55.800
 read your

00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:56.159
 Bibles

00:36:56.159 --> 00:36:56.800
 carefully

00:36:56.800 --> 00:36:58.000
 it's all

00:36:58.000 --> 00:36:58.600
 about my

00:36:58.600 --> 00:36:59.140
 death

00:36:59.140 --> 00:37:00.180
 and it's

00:37:00.180 --> 00:37:00.600
 all about

00:37:00.600 --> 00:37:00.880
 my

00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:01.519
 resurrection

00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:03.800
 because when

00:37:03.800 --> 00:37:04.420
 I suffered

00:37:04.420 --> 00:37:04.900
 for you

00:37:04.900 --> 00:37:05.260
 on the

00:37:05.260 --> 00:37:05.720
 cross

00:37:05.720 --> 00:37:08.019
 I suffered

00:37:08.019 --> 00:37:08.519
 for you

00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:08.880
 and I

00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:09.320
 died

00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:10.160
 for you

00:37:10.160 --> 00:37:12.180
 the reason

00:37:12.180 --> 00:37:12.760
 why I

00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:13.160
 went to

00:37:13.160 --> 00:37:13.580
 the cross

00:37:13.580 --> 00:37:13.980
 was that

00:37:13.980 --> 00:37:14.380
 I would

00:37:14.380 --> 00:37:14.940
 die in

00:37:14.940 --> 00:37:15.500
 place of

00:37:15.500 --> 00:37:15.960
 the rich

00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:16.340
 man

00:37:16.340 --> 00:37:17.080
 so that

00:37:17.080 --> 00:37:17.600
 you might

00:37:17.600 --> 00:37:18.260
 enjoy the

00:37:18.260 --> 00:37:18.720
 eternal

00:37:18.720 --> 00:37:19.220
 pleasures

00:37:19.220 --> 00:37:19.620
 of the

00:37:19.620 --> 00:37:19.900
 poor

00:37:19.900 --> 00:37:20.240
 man

00:37:20.240 --> 00:37:23.019
 the reason

00:37:23.019 --> 00:37:23.680
 I came

00:37:23.680 --> 00:37:24.260
 for you

00:37:24.260 --> 00:37:24.860
 is that

00:37:24.860 --> 00:37:25.240
 I would

00:37:25.240 --> 00:37:25.700
 suffer

00:37:25.700 --> 00:37:26.320
 hell

00:37:26.320 --> 00:37:27.260
 for you

00:37:27.260 --> 00:37:29.660
 so that

00:37:29.660 --> 00:37:30.080
 you would

00:37:30.080 --> 00:37:30.820
 never have

00:37:30.820 --> 00:37:31.360
 to suffer

00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:31.720
 hell

00:37:31.720 --> 00:37:33.360
 so that

00:37:33.360 --> 00:37:33.900
 you could

00:37:33.900 --> 00:37:34.720
 enjoy the

00:37:34.720 --> 00:37:35.220
 eternal

00:37:35.220 --> 00:37:35.840
 pleasures

00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:36.460
 of heaven

00:37:36.460 --> 00:37:37.240
 forever

00:37:37.240 --> 00:37:38.240
 and forever

00:37:38.240 --> 00:37:39.200
 and forever

00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:43.059
 Jesus came

00:37:43.059 --> 00:37:43.659
 to take

00:37:43.659 --> 00:37:44.299
 the blame

00:37:44.299 --> 00:37:45.219
 for all

00:37:45.219 --> 00:37:45.819
 of my

00:37:45.819 --> 00:37:46.719
 greedy

00:37:46.719 --> 00:37:47.679
 hoarding

00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:50.339
 and the

00:37:50.339 --> 00:37:51.159
 tight fist

00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:51.599
 that we

00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:52.219
 have around

00:37:52.219 --> 00:37:52.739
 all our

00:37:52.739 --> 00:37:53.279
 resources

00:37:53.279 --> 00:37:55.659
 and in

00:37:55.659 --> 00:37:56.299
 his mercy

00:37:56.299 --> 00:37:56.679
 and in

00:37:56.679 --> 00:37:57.279
 his grace

00:37:57.279 --> 00:37:57.739
 has given

00:37:57.739 --> 00:37:58.219
 me the

00:37:58.219 --> 00:37:58.659
 riches

00:37:58.659 --> 00:37:59.739
 of his

00:37:59.739 --> 00:38:00.699
 righteousness

00:38:00.699 --> 00:38:02.719
 that's

00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:03.719
 the message

00:38:03.719 --> 00:38:04.480
 of the

00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:04.960
 scriptures

00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:07.259
 are we

00:38:07.259 --> 00:38:07.699
 listening

00:38:07.699 --> 00:38:08.480
 to what

00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:09.019
 they say

00:38:09.019 --> 00:38:11.480
 and in

00:38:11.480 --> 00:38:12.000
 case we

00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:12.839
 don't quite

00:38:12.839 --> 00:38:13.599
 believe that

00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:14.399
 that's true

00:38:14.399 --> 00:38:16.460
 Jesus did

00:38:16.460 --> 00:38:17.339
 rise from

00:38:17.339 --> 00:38:17.859
 the dead

00:38:17.859 --> 00:38:19.319
 God has

00:38:19.319 --> 00:38:19.819
 given us

00:38:19.819 --> 00:38:20.599
 the ultimate

00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:21.079
 sign

00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:22.099
 the greatest

00:38:22.099 --> 00:38:22.960
 miracle

00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:24.019
 an empty

00:38:24.019 --> 00:38:24.819
 grave

00:38:24.819 --> 00:38:26.519
 so that

00:38:26.519 --> 00:38:27.159
 we can

00:38:27.159 --> 00:38:27.539
 believe

00:38:27.539 --> 00:38:29.460
 he defeated

00:38:29.460 --> 00:38:30.219
 death

00:38:30.219 --> 00:38:30.919
 so that

00:38:30.919 --> 00:38:31.599
 all who

00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:32.259
 live by

00:38:32.259 --> 00:38:32.759
 faith

00:38:32.759 --> 00:38:33.599
 all who

00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:33.799
 are

00:38:33.799 --> 00:38:34.379
 spiritually

00:38:34.379 --> 00:38:34.859
 poor

00:38:34.859 --> 00:38:35.299
 and come

00:38:35.299 --> 00:38:35.679
 with their

00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:36.119
 hands

00:38:36.119 --> 00:38:36.899
 open

00:38:36.899 --> 00:38:37.359
 longing

00:38:37.359 --> 00:38:37.839
 to be

00:38:37.839 --> 00:38:38.179
 filled

00:38:38.179 --> 00:38:40.399
 can receive

00:38:40.399 --> 00:38:41.019
 forgiveness

00:38:41.019 --> 00:38:42.839
 and will

00:38:42.839 --> 00:38:43.659
 receive that

00:38:43.659 --> 00:38:44.139
 rich

00:38:44.139 --> 00:38:44.799
 welcome

00:38:44.799 --> 00:38:45.759
 in God's

00:38:45.759 --> 00:38:46.279
 eternal

00:38:46.279 --> 00:38:46.839
 kingdom

00:38:46.839 --> 00:38:52.899
 this is the

00:38:52.899 --> 00:38:53.500
 grace and

00:38:53.500 --> 00:38:53.859
 mercy

00:38:53.859 --> 00:38:55.579
 of an

00:38:55.579 --> 00:38:55.980
 amazing

00:38:55.980 --> 00:38:56.480
 God

00:38:56.480 --> 00:38:58.259
 who does

00:38:58.259 --> 00:38:58.980
 not treat

00:38:58.980 --> 00:38:59.859
 us as we

00:38:59.860 --> 00:39:00.559
 deserve to

00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:01.059
 be treated

00:39:01.059 --> 00:39:06.400
 the test

00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:08.180
 that we

00:39:08.180 --> 00:39:08.740
 have listened

00:39:08.740 --> 00:39:09.180
 to the

00:39:09.180 --> 00:39:09.640
 scriptures

00:39:09.640 --> 00:39:11.920
 the evidence

00:39:11.920 --> 00:39:12.500
 that we

00:39:12.500 --> 00:39:13.400
 have believed

00:39:13.400 --> 00:39:14.840
 the resurrection

00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:17.360
 is that we

00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:17.960
 are people

00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:18.480
 who give

00:39:18.480 --> 00:39:19.360
 generously to

00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:19.920
 those in

 desperate

00:39:20.340 --> 00:39:20.800

00:39:24.539 --> 00:39:25.039
 our money

00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:27.120
 reveals the

00:39:27.120 --> 00:39:27.579
 kind of

00:39:27.579 --> 00:39:28.139
 person we

00:39:28.139 --> 00:39:28.900
 truly are

00:39:28.900 --> 00:39:30.799
 a person

00:39:30.799 --> 00:39:31.460
 of faith

00:39:31.460 --> 00:39:33.400
 or a

00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:33.900
 person of

00:39:33.900 --> 00:39:34.319
 self

00:39:34.319 --> 00:39:36.779

 money

00:39:37.500 --> 00:39:38.299
 determines

 our

00:39:39.099 --> 00:39:39.579
 eternal

00:39:49.500 --> 00:39:50.039
 you want

00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:50.500
 to be

00:39:50.500 --> 00:39:51.599

00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:52.059
 story

00:39:52.059 --> 00:39:56.320
 where God

00:39:56.320 --> 00:39:56.679
 has made

00:39:56.679 --> 00:39:57.179
 it possible

00:39:57.179 --> 00:39:57.679
 for us

00:39:57.679 --> 00:39:57.960
 to be

00:39:57.960 --> 00:39:58.219
 like

00:39:58.219 --> 00:39:58.920
 Lazarus
