We may escape His judgment through faith in Jesus Christ His Son. The rich man cried out in agony beyond his grave. He wanted relief from his pain, but there was none. Lazarus was comforted in Abraham’s bosom. I’m sure that Lazarus would tell us—endure hardships of life, heaven is on its way!
The third point of emphasis is this: The simplicity in knowing how to get to God. God tells me that there is only one way. I thank God that I need to know only one way to Him. I’ve studied eastern religions and philosophies of Greeks. What strikes me about these teachings is many ways to happiness that they purport. Often I conclude my studies frustrated and confused because they offer too many ways. I’m a simple man. My God has made way to Him, simple. Thank God there is only one way to know. Jesus is way, truth, and life.
All I have to do is place my trust in Jesus, and He will lead me home. Lazarus obviously trusted in God while crying out for mercy because angels came for him at end of his earthly journey. They carried him along way, via way of grave, into comfort of Paradise.
And so this concludes this read. Simple, but important. I say it is essential. God is either or, but no in between. God is immutable, and not wishy-washy. God is one way. His way is through Jesus Christ His only begotten Son. He has blessed me forever.
Keep faith. Stay course. Jesus is coming soon.
