The Law Remains

JESUS.
Up until the time of John, the Law and the Prophets were your guides. Since then, the Kingdom of God is being preached, and every
man is trying to force his way into it. It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for one little stroke to drop out of the Law.
Luke 16:16,17

Lazarus and the Rich Man

JESUS.
There was a particular wealthy man who used to dress in purple and fine linen and had sumptuous meals every day. At the man's gate,
a poor man named Lazarus lay there, covered with sores. As he lay there, he longed for the crumbs that dropped from the wealthy
man's table, even the dogs would come up and lick his open wounds. Eventually, the poor man died and was carried away by the
angels to the bosom of Abraham.
The rich man also died and was buried. From the grave and in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham a long way off with Lazarus in
his bosom. He cried out and said, "Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in some water and
cool my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame." But Abraham replied, "My son, remember that during your lifetime, good things
came your way; just as bad things came the way of Lazarus. Now he is being comforted here while you are in agony. But besides all
this: there is a great chasm placed between us so that anyone who wanted to cross from here to where you are cannot, neither can
anyone cross from where you are to us." The wealthy man replied, "Father, Then I beg you, send Lazarus to my father's house and my
five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they also may come to this place of torment." Abraham said to him, "They have Moses
and the prophets, let them listen to them." "No, father Abraham," said the rich man "but if someone went to them from the dead, they
will repent." Then Abraham said to him, "If they will not listen to Moses or to the prophets, they will neither listen or be convinced
even if someone should rise from the dead."
Luke 16:19-31

Entrapping Others
Home | Table of Contents | Index | Chronological Listing
JESUS.
It is inevitable that there will be things that will stumble you and entrap you. But woe to the man who places the snares there and sets
out to entrap you. That man would be better off to be thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck, than to have him lead
astray a single one of these little ones, so watch yourselves!
Luke 17:1-3
