And HE (Jesus) Said To Them, “There Was A Certain Rich
Man, Who Was Clothed, IN Purple And Fine Linen, And (Who) Fared, Sumptuously (i.e.
Lived In Luxury), Every Day! BUT, There Was A Certain Beggar,
Named Lazarus, Full Of Sores, Who Was Laid, At His (The Rich Man’s) Gate, Desiring To Be Fed, With The Crumbs, Which Fell
From The Rich Man’s Table! Moreover, The
Dogs, Came And Licked His (Lazarus’) Sores!”
“So It Was, That The Beggar (Lazarus)
Died, And Was Carried, By The Angels (GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels), To Abraham’s Bosom (i.e.
Heaven)! The Rich Man, Also Died, And
Was Buried! And Being In Torments, IN
Hades (The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION), He (The
Rich Man) Lifted Up His Eyes, And Saw Abraham, Afar Off, And Lazarus, IN His Bosom
(IN Heaven)!”
“THEN, He (The Rich Man) Cried, And Said,
‘Father Abraham, Have Mercy On Me, And Send Lazarus, That He (Lazarus) May Dip
The Tip Of His Finger, IN Water, And Cool My Tongue; For I Am Tormented, IN THIS Flame!’ BUT, Abraham Said, ‘Son, Remember, That, IN
Your Lifetime (IN The Natural Body), YOU Received Your Good Things, And Likewise,
Lazarus (Received) Evil Things (IN His Lifetime, IN The Natural Body); BUT NOW,
He (Lazarus) IS Comforted (IN Heaven), And (Now) YOU Are Tormented (IN The Lake
Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION)!”
“And Besides ALL THIS, BETWEEN Us (Abraham
And Lazarus) And YOU (The Rich Man), THERE IS, A GREAT GULF, FIXED; So That,
Those (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), Who Want To Pass, From HERE
(EVERLASTING LIFE – IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, With Jesus Christ,
The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, And All The Rest Of The Children
Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER), To YOU, Can NOT; NOR Can Those (FALSE
Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), From THERE (EVERLASTING
CONDEMNATION - The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, With Satan, The Fallen
Angels, Demons, The Antichrist, The FALSE Prophet, Death, Hades, And All The
Rest Of The FALSE Prophets, FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers),
FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER), Pass To Us!’”
“THEN, He (The Rich Man) Said, ‘I Beg YOU,
Therefore, Father (Abraham); That YOU Would Send Him (Lazarus), To My Father’s
House;
For I
Have Five Brothers, That He (Lazarus) May Testify To Them; Lest, They Also,
Come To THIS Place Of Torment (The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING
CONDEMNATION)!’ Abraham Said To Him (The
Rich Man), ‘They Have Moses And The Prophets (Of GOD Almighty); Let Them Hear
Them (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)!’ And He (The Rich Man) Said, ‘NO, Father
Abraham; BUT, IF One Goes To Them, From The Dead, They Will Repent!’ BUT He (Abraham) Said To Him (The Rich
Man), ‘IF They Do NOT Hear Moses
And The Prophets (Of GOD Almighty), Neither Will They Be Persuaded, Though
One, Rise From The Dead (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus
Christ)!’”
Fellow Believers, There Are Several
Things, We Can Learn, From THIS Parable.
First Of All, Let Me Remind YOU: ONLY GOD
Almighty, Himself, Can And Does, PUTS UPON Someone’s Heart: The Desire To Hear
THE TRUTH, The Desire To Acknowledge THE TRUTH, The Desire To Understand THE
TRUTH, And Most Importantly, The Desire To Accept THE TRUTH – The Holy Bible,
AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ!
Having Said THIS, We MUST
Remember, NOT Everyone, Will Come To The Saving Knowledge Of Jesus Christ;
THIS, Is A Cold Hard FACT!
YES, IT IS Our
Responsibility, As Fellow Believers, To Share The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, With Everyone
We Encounter, IN The Natural Physical World, As Well As, IN Cyber World!
Isaiah
62:6
I (GOD Almighty) Have Set
Watchmen (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), On Your Walls, O
Jerusalem; They (Fellow Believers) Shall NEVER Hold Their Peace, Day OR
Night! YOU (Fellow Believers), Who Make
Mention Of THE LORD (GOD Almighty), Do NOT Keep Silent (Preach The Gospel Of
Jesus Christ)!
Ezekiel 3:17-19
“Son Of Man (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD
Almighty), I (GOD Almighty) Have MADE YOU, A Watchman, For The House Of
Israel; Therefore, HEAR A WORD, From MY MOUTH (The Holy Bible, AND
Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), And Give Them WARNING, From ME
(Preach The Gospel Of Jesus Christ): WHEN, I (GOD Almighty) SAY, To The Wicked
(FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), ‘YOU SHALL SURELY DIE (IN The
Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION),’ And YOU (Fellow
Believers) Give Him NO Warning (Preach The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), NOR Speak To
WARN The Wicked (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), From His
Wicked Way (THROUGH The Saving Knowledge Of Jesus Christ), To SAVE His Life
(FROM The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION); THAT Same
Wicked MAN (FALSE Teachers, FALSE
Believers, AND Unbelievers), Shall DIE, IN His Iniquity (IN The
Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION); BUT, His Blood, I (GOD
Almighty) Will REQUIRE, At Your Hand!”
“YET, IF YOU (Fellow Believers) WARN The Wicked (Preach
The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), And He (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND
Unbelievers) Does NOT Turn, From His Wickedness (THROUGH Satan), NOR (Turn)
From His Wicked Way (i.e. REPENT, And Turn Back To GOD Almighty); He (FALSE
Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Shall DIE, IN His Iniquity (IN The
Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION); BUT, YOU
(Fellow Believers) Have DELIVERED Your Soul (YOU Have Fulfilled Your Spiritual
Responsibility)!”
Fellow Believers, We Can See HERE, That GOD Almighty
Has Placed THIS Spiritual Responsibility, Squarely, Upon Each Of Our Shoulders;
IT IS The Essence Of Our Being Jesus Christ’s LIGHT, Upon A World Full Of Darkness!
Ephesians
2:8-10
FOR BY GRACE (GOD Almighty’s Amazing Saving
GRACE), YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Have Been SAVED (FROM
The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION), THROUGH FAITH
(FAITH, IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), And That, NOT Of Yourselves; IT IS, THE GIFT Of GOD
(GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT Of SALVATION), NOT Of (Mankind’s) Works; Lest,
Anyone Should Boast!
For We (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD
Almighty) Are HIS (GOD Almighty’s) WORKMANSHIP, CREATED, IN Christ Jesus,
For Good Works (GOD Almighty’s Good Works, Performed THROUGH Us); Which GOD
(GOD Almighty) PREPARED, BEFOREHAND, That We (Fellow Believers) Should Walk, IN
Them!
1
Corinthians 15:3-6a
For I Delivered, To YOU (Fellow Believers –
Children Of GOD Almighty), First Of All, THAT, Which I Also, RECEIVED
(THROUGH The Holy Spirit): THAT, CHRIST DIED FOR Our Sins, According To THE
SCRIPTURES (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), AND THAT,
HE (Jesus) WAS BURIED, AND THAT, HE (Jesus) ROSE (ALIVE) AGAIN, The Third Day, According
To THE SCRIPTURES (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus
Christ), AND THAT, HE (Jesus) WAS SEEN (ALIVE), By Cephas (aka Peter), THEN, (Jesus
Was Seen ALIVE) By The Twelve (Jesus’ Disciples)! AFTER THAT, HE (Jesus) WAS SEEN (ALIVE), By Over
Five Hundred Brethren (Fellow Believers), At Once (i.e. Jesus’
Crucifixion, Resurrection, AND Subsequent, Ascension – The Gospel Of Jesus
Christ)!
2
Corinthians 5:20-21
Now Then, We (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD
Almighty) Are Ambassadors For Christ; As Though, GOD (GOD Almighty) Were PLEADING
(With YOU), Through Us: WE IMPLORE YOU
(Yet-To-Be-Believers), On Christ’s Behalf, BE RECONCILED TO GOD
(THROUGH Jesus Christ)! FOR HE (GOD
Almighty) MADE HIM (Jesus Christ), WHO Knew NO Sin, TO BE SIN, For Us (i.e.
Jesus’ Crucifixion, Resurrection, AND Subsequent, Ascension – The Gospel Of Jesus
Christ), THAT We (Fellow Believers) Might Become, The Righteousness Of GOD
(Children Of GOD Almighty), IN HIM (Jesus Christ)!
HERE, Is The Essence Of What We Want To Share . . .
Romans
10:8-10
BUT, WHAT DOES IT SAY (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically,
The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)? “THE WORD Is Near YOU (Yet-To-Be-Believers), IN
Your Mouth, AND IN Your Heart!” THAT IS, THE WORD Of FAITH
(FAITH, IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), Which We (Fellow Believers) Preach:
THAT, IF YOU (Yet-To-Be-Believers) CONFESS, With Your Mouth, THE LORD JESUS,
And BELIEVE, IN Your Heart, THAT GOD (GOD Almighty) HAS RAISED HIM (Jesus
Christ, ALIVE) From The Dead (i.e. Jesus’ Crucifixion, Resurrection, AND
Subsequent, Ascension – The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), YOU WILL BE SAVED (FROM
The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION)! FOR, With The Heart, One BELIEVES, Unto Righteousness,
AND With The Mouth, CONFESSION (Of THIS FAITH, IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ) IS
MADE, UNTO SALVATION (EVERLASTING LIFE – IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence,
With Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, And All The
Rest Of The Children Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER)!
Lastly, Think Of THIS Parable, THIS Way . . .
What IF, All The People We Encountered, During Our
Lifetime (IN The Natural Physical Body); Who Did NOT Acknowledge GOD Almighty’s
Amazing Saving GRACE, AND More Importantly, Who Did NOT Accept GOD Almighty’s
FREE GIFT Of SALVATION (Which COMES ONLY, THROUGH Jesus Christ), Therefore,
They Ended Up, IN The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION;
Could SEE Us, THROUGH THE GREAT FIXED GULF, IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate
Presence; And Ask Us, THIS Question: Why, Did YOU NOT Tell Me?
Well, I Do NOT Want There, To Be Anyone, Who
Could Say THAT, To Me; And Yes, I Realize, THIS Will NOT Literally, Be The
Case; BUT, We MUST Make Certain, We Share The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, With Everyone,
We Can! WE KNOW, ONLY GOD Almighty,
Himself, PUTS UPON Someone’s Heart, To Accept THE TRUTH – The Holy Bible, AND
Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ; BUT, IT IS Still Up To Us, To Share IT!
Something To Think About!
Fellow Believers, Jesus Christ ABIDES
WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit; Therefore, Jesus Christ WALKS WITH Us, The
Holy Spirit TEACHES Us, And Most Importantly, GOD Almighty WATCHES OVER Us,
Always!
Wherever
YOU Are, Wherever YOU Go, Whatever YOU Do; Be It, In The Natural Physical
World, OR In Cyber World; May OUR LORD Jesus Christ,
Find YOU, Going About THE FATHER’S BUSINESS, Which IS, Sharing The Gospel Of
Jesus Christ, As A Good And Faithful Servant!
Amen.
