Day 7

Scripture to Read: Luke 16:19-31

As we close out the devotions this week on Luke 16:19-31, take some time before worship this morning and read back through Luke 16:19-31. Also, glance back through the six previous devotions and jot down what God has taught you over these last six days. Take some time and pray for our pastors as they preach on Luke 16 this morning. Pray Ephesians 6:19-20 for Pastor Aaron and Pastor Blake. Then pray John 16:7-11 for every lost soul that will be in worship today at either Highview campus. Also, pray for the lost souls here in Louisville who will be watching Highview’s service online. Then pray for the lost souls all over the world today who may be hearing the gospel preached today. Ask our Lord to remove the blindness from the minds of each lost soul, knowing, according to 2 Corinthians 4:4, “the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” Also, pray for every believer who is leading any kind of small group today. Pray Ephesians 6:19-20 for them as well, asking our Lord to give them His Words as they lead. Finally, pray for believers who are still living “fleshly,” according to 1 Corinthians 3:1-3. Pray and thank the Lord that He is lovingly disciplining those immature believers according to Hebrews 12:5-11, so they will repent and be restored to a right fellowship with our Lord Jesus Christ.

Day 1

Today we begin our journey through the parable of “The Rich Man and Lazarus.” We know our Lord Jesus Christ used parables as incredible teaching tools and our Lord has a lot to teach us through this parable as well. Our Lord introduces the rich man as a person who loved to dress up in the finest clothing possible. Jesus said it like this in L...

Day 2

We read today that both Lazarus and the rich man died. Lazarus was taken to Abraham’s bosom, and the rich man went to Hades. Before our Lord Jesus Christ's crucifixion, all dead souls went to the same place, but this place was divided into two areas and was separated by a large chasm. One area, in Hebrew, was called Sheol and in Greek, it was...

Day 3

What we read today are some very sobering words. As we know from yesterday’s devotion, the rich man had called out to Abraham, asking Abraham to send Lazarus over to help bring him some relief from his agony. Today we read Abraham’s response. Abraham reminded the rich man of the rich man’s failure to show compassion for Lazarus while living o...

Day 4

As we know, the rich man had already made a request to Abraham to hopefully receive some relief from his torment and agony. The rich man’s request was denied. Now, we might think that this was a legitimate request at first glance. But what the rich man’s request indeed reveals to us was that even in physical death, the rich man’s heart never ...

Day 5

What our Lord Jesus Christ does for us today is fantastic. As we read Luke 16:29, we see the response of Abraham to the rich man. From yesterday’s devotion, we know the rich man wanted Abraham to send Lazarus back from the dead to be able to tell the rich man’s five brothers to repent of their sin. Abraham’s response, as Jesus shares in this ...

Day 6

As we read Luke 16:30-31, we find that the rich man did not like the answer he received from Abraham. As we saw in yesterday’s devotion, Abraham had told the rich man that what the rich man’s five brothers had from what was written in the Old Testament was more than enough to lead the rich man’s five brothers to the point of repentance. But t...
