Luke 16:30 KJV
And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one
went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
It is
interesting that Lazarus, whose name we are given, is silent in this account;
but the rich man, whose name is withheld, does all the talking. I understand that
the intent if the Lord is to express the awfulness of hell but in doing so He
demonstrates the contentedness of those in heaven as well as the difference in
character between the two men.
Lazarus is a
content man
The rich man is
a complainer
Going even so
far as to try to correct Abraham.
And so it is
with souls in this world:
- Some are happy and
blessed with the Father's care
- Some will complain
about everything and to anyone
Give us, O
Father, a spirit like Lazarus. Give us a spirit of contentedness with Your
care.
