Choosing The Living Water
π Luke 16:19-31
Earthly comfort and attachment to the temporary can blind us to God's eternal purpose and the life-saving urgency of receiving Jesus, the Living Water, before the door of opportunity closes.
"Don't lose sight of the future God has for you because you want to be comfortable right now.Detach yourself from things that blind you from seeing His mysteries and hearing His Voice".
Luke 16:22: And it happened that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich one also died and was buried.
Luk 16:23: And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Luk 16:24: And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame. Luk 16:25: But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted and you are tormented.
This is part of the Parable of the rich man and the beggar, Lazarus.
The reason I have put this up is because, here the rich man is in hell and once there has realised that salvation was at his fingertips. And I see this in him asking Lazarus to just dip his finger in water and touch his tongue. When the rich man was on the earth he could have had all the water he wanted but passed it by.
Now just one small drop would be more than enough, but again it is too late, as that one drop could have saved his life.
IT WOULD HAVE SAVED HIS ETERNAL LIFE, as that WATER IS SAVIOUR (JESUS) THE LIVING WATER.
In hell there is no water, and in particular no LIVING WATER, NO SAVIOUR (JESUS), NO SALVATION. - Acts.12:4; Romans. 10:8,9.
"Make right choices now so you don't have to look back and wish you had made different ones"
