LIVE DISCUSSION: Rich Man, Beggar, And Forever (Part 2 of 2)
Manage episode 516157587 series 2796785
A wealthy man dies, opens his eyes in torment, and still tries to give orders. That single detail from the rich man and Lazarus sets the tone for a searching conversation about the afterlife, the permanence of our choices, and the terrifying power of an unchanged heart. We trace Abraham’s answer—remember, reversal, and reality—and sit with the finality of the great chasm that no good intentions can cross.
We explore what Jesus teaches about knowing and being known beyond death, why entitlement sounds so grotesque on the other side, and how the request for “just one miracle” exposes a deeper resistance to truth. When the rich man begs for a resurrection to warn his brothers, Abraham points to Moses and the prophets. That’s the hard line we press into: if we refuse Scripture, spectacle won’t save us. We connect this to modern cravings for viral signs, celebrity sermons, and prosperity facades that promise jets while neglecting justice and holiness.
From there, we turn the lens inward. Are we, as believers, bored with Christ? Do our calendars and conversations say that games outrank Scripture and fellowship? We talk candidly about courage: telling family and friends the truth with tenderness, refusing funeral fictions that soothe but never save, and embracing a daily life shaped by repentance, service, and joy in God. The hope is not in our resolve but in a risen Savior who still calls, still forgives, and still comforts. If you’ve been waiting for a sign, the word is already in your hands—and the door of mercy is open.
If this moved you, share it with a friend, leave a rating, and subscribe so you never miss a new conversation. Then tell us: who needs a loving warning and real hope today?
