A Library Of Resources For Spiritual Growth
In the sixteenth chapter of Luke’s gospel, we have recorded the words of our Lord Jesus Christ concerning the pleading of the rich man who died and was suffering in hell. There must have been many who were in hell, but you will notice that when the rich man went there he could not find any comfort. He was alone. As far as he was concerned, there was no one else there.
The only people he knew and remembered were those who were still alive.
Let me remind you again that it is the Lord Jesus Christ, Jesus the Lord of all the world and of life and of death and of eternity, who gave us this vivid picture of the pleading from hell. He drew aside the opaque curtain to let us see and hear what had never before been communicated to living men and women.
He let us hear the actual words of a condemned man. This is the only place in the Bible where we meet an eternally condemned man and hear him speak, almost as if we are looking into his face.
