The Rich Man & Lazarus (Luke 16:19–31) — A Sermon by R.C. Sproul

Summary

The sermon analyzes Luke 16:19-31, the parable of Dives and Lazarus, highlighting the stark contrast between the rich man's earthly comfort and eternal torment, and Lazarus's suffering and subsequent comfort. The main takeaway emphasizes that belief in hell is not optional for Christians, and that hearing Moses and the prophets is sufficient warning against such a fate. The practical conclusion is that we must take Jesus' teachings on hell seriously, as they are a clear and urgent warning.
