Gimme People And Hell
By Mark Flippo
Luke 16:19–31 (NIV)
19-“There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20-At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21-and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22-“The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23-In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24-So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’
25-“But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26-And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us." 27-“He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28-for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ 29-“Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’ 30-"No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ 31-“He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”
So many people are only interested in you as long as they get what they want from knowing you. They can dump you so fast it would make your head spin! They are all about self. Selfishness is their middle name! Now how many do you know like that? I do not have enough fingers and toes to count all of them I know. Those kind of people you should not be involved with even if their family. Some always want money. Do this or that for me. They are never concerned about you receiving anything. They walk away. You mean nothing to them.
Drop them like a hot rock! Jesus teaches us to not be unequally yoked! You are worth more than they. Walk without that burden clinging to you. God Bless!
