Discussion Questions
What does this passage teach us about wealth and poverty?
How can we apply this passage to our lives today?
In Luke 16:19-31, Jesus tells a story of a man who went to Hell. The man was a good person, but he was sent to Hell because he didn’t believe in Jesus. Hell is a place where people who have done bad things go. In Hell, the man saw people who were very bad. He also saw people who were very good. The man was very surprised by this. He asked Jesus why the people who were very good were in Hell, but the people who were very bad weren’t. Jesus answered the man by saying that it is because the people who were very bad have sinned more than the people who were very good. This is true in our lives too. We can see this in the Bible when Jesus talks about the sins of the world. The sins of the world are the things that we have done that are bad. But Jesus says that we can be forgiven for these sins if we believe in Him. This is why the people who were very good are in Heaven, and the people who were very bad are in Hell.
What does this passage teach us about the afterlife?
The afterlife is a topic that is often discussed by Christians. In Luke 16:19-31, Jesus speaks about the afterlife to a group of people who are questioning Him. He tells them that they will be judged according to their deeds in this life, and that they will receive rewards or punishments based on those deeds. This passage teaches us about the importance of our actions in this life, and how we will be judged by God.
In today’s lesson, we looked at Luke 16:19-31. In this passage, Jesus tells a story of a man who went to Hell. The man was very sad and wanted to come back to Earth. Jesus told him that he would have to wait until he died before he could come back. The man asked Jesus why he had to wait. Jesus replied, “Because I chose you, before the creation of the world, to come to Me.” This passage teaches us that we are chosen by God to be with Him. We are not chosen because of our good deeds, but because God loves us.
Summary of main points

Final thoughts
In today’s gospel lesson, Luke 16:19-31, Jesus tells a story of a man who is in great debt. The man is so in debt that he can’t even pay back what he has borrowed. In the end, the man is forgiven by his creditor, but he is also warned about the consequences of not being forgiven.

Call to action
In today’s gospel lesson, Jesus tells a story of a rich man who went to Hell because he refused to give to the poor. He also tells a story of a poor man who went to Heaven because he gave to the poor.
What do these stories teach us about how to live our lives?
First, it is important to remember that there is a big difference between being rich and being poor. The rich man in the story went to Hell because he refused to give to the poor. The poor man in the story went to Heaven because he gave to the poor.
Second, it is important to remember that it is not enough to just do something, but we also have to do it with purpose. The rich man in the story did not go to Hell because he did not give enough money, he went to Hell because he did not give to the right people. The poor man in the story did not go to Heaven because he gave too much money, he went to Heaven because he gave to the right people.
Finally, it is important to remember that we are all called to do something good in this world. The rich man in the story could have done a lot more to help the poor, but he did what he could. The poor man in the story could have done a lot less to help the poor, but he did what he could. We all have a role to play in this world, and we all have to do our best to live our lives the way Jesus would want us to.
