19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

“clothed” - Covered with garments; dressed; invested; furnished with clothing.

II. Your Life. v.19

“fared” - To go, to pass, to move forward.

III. Your Death. v.22

22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

A medical person will pronounce you.

A funeral home will embalm you.

A grave will have your body.

IV. Your Eternity. vs.23-31

This man was in torments. vs.23-24

23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

This man was in tears. v.24

This man was in terror. v.27

27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:

This man was taught. vs.28-31

28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Conclusion:

This “certain rich man” is still in Hell.

Where will you be in 2000 years?
