Final remarks
Jesus told the people about the two men who died. He contrasted what happened to the two men after death. The rich man had no further opportunity to find the way to God. He could not help his brothers to avoid punishment. Lazarus could not help the rich man’s brothers. There was no hope after death. God has provided the Bible to show people the way. People will not believe if they do not want to.
