Rich Man and Lazarus

We see the rich man's two flaws here. One is that he believed himself superior to others. So must we all be careful not to do so, no matter who we are. His second flaw is fatal: he didn't believe there was anything wrong with the first. He knew no repentance. Meanwhile how very like Jesus is Lazarus. Would have come to the rich man in hell if he could have, and we know a Lazarus who was raised from the dead and it did the rich man's brothers no  good. Same as Jesus, whose resurrection helps no one without the word of the Gospel. Let us cultivate the desire to be with Jesus, and like him. Sermon for Trinity Octave. Video is here.
