“And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.”
Luke 16:30-31 KJV
Dr. Luke writes, “What if they’re not listening?’ the rich man added. ‘If someone from the dead were to go and warn them, they would surely repent.’ “Abraham said to him, ‘If they wouldn’t listen to Moses and the prophets, neither would they be convinced if someone were raised from the dead!’ The rich man had lived totally depending on money and worldly power, never thinking about death, judgment and the after life. When he asked Abraham to tell his family members about the tormented place he was in, Abraham said that they never listened to Moses or the prophets and neither will they listen to someone who rose from the dead. Jesus is that “someone” Who rose from the grave, yet many still will not listen and believe. The world and money power is such a deception to the people. Religions and philosophies that are tolerant of sin will also deceive. Jesus said, “I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Let’s proclaim this truth that there is only one life, after that is the judgment, and there is no other way to eternal life except through Jesus Christ. Choose life in Christ. Amen!
