(Jesus continued) “He (rich man) said, ‘No father Abraham; but if some one goes to them (5 brothers) from the dead, they will repent.’ He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if some one should rise from the dead.'” Luke 16:30, 31
Lord it is human nature to think someone will listen to someone that has some clout. The rich man thought that because Abraham would come back from the dead he could tell his brothers what they should do to not end up where he was in Hades. Abraham knew that would not make one bit of difference and told the rich man that fact.
Thank You Lord for giving us the opportunity while we are alive to follow You.
Thank You that You continue to call us to give our lives to You.
Thank You that You are patient with us.
Thank You for the peace and joy You alone can give when we look to You and ask forgiveness.
Thank You for Your gift of unconditional love.
Thank You for the hope that wells up within as we trust in You.
Thank You Lord.
