And we arrive on Friday and I want to bring you some ideas to complement this week’s lesson. Come here for my commentary on Luke which says the following: Death came for both of them. Death does not respect age or social conditions.
It is the equal sign in the equation of life. Rich and poor came from dust, are dust and return to dust. Rich and poor brought nothing into this world and will take nothing from it.
There is no moving truck at a funeral, nor a drawer in a coffin. It's an interesting thing for us to think about, right? When you die, you're rich, you're poor, it doesn't make the slightest difference.
At that moment it doesn't make any difference. Another thought. The name Lázaro means God is my help.
Although despised by men and considered the scum of society, socially ostracized, forgotten, sick, hungry, surrounded only by dogs and lepers, he trusted in God. The rich didn't have everything. The rich man had everything but God.
Lazarus had nothing but God. That's a beautiful phrase. I'll say it again.
The rich man had everything but God. Lazarus had nothing but God. This parable is very rich and it is worth stopping, studying, understanding exactly what Jesus is saying here.
It's not the main topic, as I've told you throughout the week. The state of man in death is not the main issue. But if among you young people you have this doubt about what happens to a man after he dies, I think it's worth getting into this subject.
OK? It's not that the parable will teach me about this, but this parable, when talking about it, can awaken me so that I come and need to understand this other subject. Okay, so I think it's worth studying this.
It is fine? So may God bless you and your class tomorrow. And if you happen to have any doubts, study, seek knowledge.
Don't stay like that on the surface, go deeper, because God has a lot to give and teach you. Is it a gem? Thanks my people and see you next week!
