The Rich Man and Lazarus

February 23, 2025 Preacher: John Bell Series: The Parables of Jesus

Passage: Luke 16:19–31

1. Like Lazarus, those whom “God helps” will be borne after their death into God’s presence

  1. Like the rich man, the unrepentant will experience irreversible punishment.
  1. Through Moses and the Prophets (and now the New Testament) God reveals himself and his will so that none who neglect that revelation can legitimately protest their subsequent fate

 

*This sermon owes a debt to Craig Blomberg’s “Interpreting the Parables.”
