Hope of Love
Jesus said “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’ “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’ “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’ “ ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ” -Luke 16:19-31 NIV
Ending with Love
When Jesus told the story of the rich man and Lazarus (above). Jesus said: “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’ “ ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ” Luke 16:19-31

Jesus did not tell this parable for Lazarus, rich man or even his five brothers but said it for you and me. And, just like Scrooge in Dickens Christmas Carol as he was to read his own name on the tombstone said "the heart(s) of man can change? why show us these things if we're beyond hope”. Jesus by telling us this is offering hope, we can believe and change and have The Life God wants for you...
I finish where I started may God bless you/us everyone!
For God so loved the world (you & me) that he gave his one and only Son (Jesus), that whoever (you or I) believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son (Jesus) into the world to condemn the world (you & me), but to save the world (you & me) through Him (Jesus). ' John 3:16-17
