Summary

Most people have a curiosity about the afterlife. That’s because the Bible says that “God has set eternity in the hearts of men” (Ecc. 3:11). The eternal God has put an eternal awareness in the hearts of every human being. In Luke 16 Jesus tells one of the most insightful stories about the afterlife. He details the deaths of two men and the different places they went after they died. One man went to a place of Torment where he suffered, and the other man (named Lazarus) went to a place of Paradise where he was comforted. How is Paradise different from Heaven? What happens when we die? Pastor Gary answers these questions and more as he teaches through Luke 16.

0:00.0	We come here to Luke chapter 16, where Jesus teaches a story that is unique to the gospel of Luke
0:06.4	having to do with paradise, having to do with life after death. And so take a look with me in your
0:11.7	Bible's here at Luke 16, starting in verse 19. I'm going to read down through verse 31.
0:18.7	Luke 16, verse 19, Jesus says, there was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen
0:24.9	and fared sumptuously or lived luxuriously every day. But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus full of sores
0:34.2	who was laid at his gate, desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the
0:39.1	rich man's table. Moreover, the dogs came and licked his soars. And so it was that the beggar died
0:45.5	and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom, or literally Abraham's side, where Abraham was.
0:52.9	And the rich man also died and was buried. And being in
0:57.5	torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom or at his
1:05.4	side. And then he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his
1:12.1	finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said,
1:17.9	Son, remember that in your lifetime, you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus' evil
1:23.0	things. But now he is comforted and you are tormented. And besides all this, between us and you, there is a
1:30.4	great gulf fixed so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from
1:36.5	there pass to us. And then he said that, now this is the rich man in torment. He says, I beg you,
1:42.1	therefore, Father, that you would send him,
1:45.4	send Lazarus, to my father's house, for I have five brothers that he may testify to them,
1:50.8	lest they also come to this place of torment. Abraham said to him, they have Moses and the prophets.
1:57.6	Let them hear them. And he said, no, no, Father Abraham, but if one goes to them from
2:03.7	the dead, they will repent. But he said to him, if they do not hear Moses and the prophets,
2:09.1	neither will they be persuaded, though one rise from the dead. Now, I have taught on this passage
