Luke 16

The account is given of the rich man and Lazarus.  While the rich man fared well in this life, dining sumptuously and having few cares, Lazarus was the one who was truly blessed because he had prepared for the life to come.  The rich man seeks to use his influence to keep his loved ones and relatives from the same damning fate he suffers, and learns that if one will not listen in life they will certainly not be convinced by voices from beyond the grave.
