THE RICH MAN & LAZARUS - Coggle Diagram

- - - - The Rich Man’s problem was failed to be persuaded of the truths of the old testament taught
        
        He did not repent of his covetousness
        
        He failed to repent and believe the gospel
        
        How he used the money, how he treated the poor Lazarus, how he failed to help the man God was pleased to help– the sins of covetousness revealed the greater sin of his heart.
        He rejected, he was not persuaded by the good news of the gospel
        
        He was clothed in purple and fine linen. He has house with gate.
        
        He feasted in luxury everyday (costing many times the value of a working man’s daily wage). The word used for feasting is the word that is used for a gourmet feeding on exotic and costly dishes. He did this every day.
        
        In so doing he definitely and positively broke the fourth commandment. That commandment not only forbids work on the Sabbath; it also says six days you shall labor (Exodus 20:9).
        
        The Rich man’s love of money has bloomed into self justifying, self centered and pride.
- - - - God is near to the brokenhearted
        
        Lazarus’s deep physical need made him much more sensitive to his deeper spiritual need.
- - - - Abraham was blessed in a special way and his name became great (Gen 12:2)
        
        He is granted a promise to inherit Canaan Gen 17:8
        
        Righteousness is imputed to him for his faith Gen 15:6
        
        God made covenant with him
        Gen 17:2
- - - - “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.”
        Galatians 6:7
  - - - Jesus : Betrayed, Punished, Crucified, Died, Raised on 3rd day, Ascended to heaven
      - Judas : Love of money, greed, betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver, get financial gain, he committed suicide
        
        No Possibility of reversing the situation and No more opportunity for the Rich man and his family
        
        Don’t let your fortune close you off from seeing and reaching out to meet the need of others.
