Theme: “People in hell are begging for someone to go to their loved ones”
In designing this sermon I was thinking about the vast difference of how things will be as the saved enter into heaven and the lost enter into hell. In heaven things will be so much different than they were here on earth. There will never be another moment of pain, no more disease, no more death, no more separation, and there will never be any need to ever pray another prayer. We will forever praise the Lord but why would we ever need to pray?

The people in hell can still see those that have entered into heaven and they are very much aware of the lives of their loved ones back on earth.
The thing that gripped me as I mulled this over in my mind was the idea of those in hell fervently praying. Is this not the oddest place ever to find a person praying? The rich man never prayed for his release from hell, he knew that his fate was sealed. He did pray a prayer of deep desperation hoping to find some relief for his pain, but that prayer will forever go unanswered.

The other prayer that the rich man prayed was that his brothers would not come to hell. I can hear this man as he begs Abraham to send Lazarus to go and warn his ...
