“I Am 

In Anguish 

In These Flames.”

Scripture

Luke 16 

²⁴ “The rich man shouted, ‘Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over here to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. I am in anguish in these flames.’

²⁵ “But Abraham said to him, ‘Son, remember that during your lifetime you had everything you wanted, and Lazarus had nothing. So now he is here being comforted, and you are in anguish.

  ²⁶ And besides, there is a great chasm separating us. No one can cross over to you from here, and no one can cross over to us from there.’

²⁷ “Then the rich man said, ‘Please, Father Abraham, at least send him to my father’s home.

  ²⁸ For I have five brothers, and I want him to warn them so they don’t end up in this place of torment.’

Observation

 Hell!

The rich man cried to Father Abraham, but Abraham replied, “And besides, there is a great chasm separating us. No one can cross over to you from here, and no one can cross over to us from there.”

It is a place of deep regret. It is a place of eternal torment. It is a real place. It is just as real as Heaven.

Interesting that those in Hell could actually see the people in Heaven. This rich man was crying out to Abraham to send someone to warn his five brothers so they didn’t end up in this place of torment, but Abraham told him it was too late!

This story is a reminder to me that the people around me are on their way to Hell. It is a place of eternal torment. It is a real place. It is a reminder to me to share the Gospel!

Application

I will look for opportunities to share about Jesus!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, give me boldness to share the Gospel. Give me love and concern for the people around me.
