Luke 16:19-31

- The NAS says that he was joyously living it up every day. Hmillion-dollarlar home overlooked the best golf course in Jerusalem.
- But in the end, death comes for him. We don't know his age or the circumstances of his death, just that he died.
B) WITH NOTHING AT ALL- Lazarus, what a contrast with the rich man. He had nothing. His life was miserable. His health was broken. He had no medical attention. No family to care for him. Alone, sick, and poor, he ...
