Last night in church, I learned something new from a story, I have heard many times. A story about a rich man and a beggar, named Lazarus. I am sure many of you know this story found in Luke 16: 15-31. The part,I was convicted of last night, was vs. 28: "For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment."
The rich man, as he was in hell, was begging for someone to go tell his brothers, about this horrible place of torment. There are many opportunities, that I have, to tell people about the sacrifice Jesus made, so we can avoid this place, but I often shrug my shoulders, and say "not now, some other time." I know that ,without Christ's salvation, they can die and spend an eternity in hell, yet I think I'm too busy to tell them, or to shy, or I think they'll make fun of me. I just have to remember that rich man's plea and God's command ,to spread the tidings round, and answer.
