Summary of Readings

·                    Jesus told a parable that left no doubt that there will be a life here-after, and that our condition there depends on what happens here

·                    The parable refers to worldly possessions, but also shows that the spiritual intent of our hearts makes us poor or rich towards God

·                    Jesus gives some insights into what happens after we die, after the first resurrection, and at the end

·                    References from the Old and New Testaments explain that there will be a resurrection of the righteous when Jesus Christ returns, but unbelievers will suffer the second death and separation from God for a further thousand years

·                    However, there is also the hope to be delivered from (physical) death, and to be preserved in spirit and soul and body to put on immortality

·                    Do you believe the Words God has already given to instruct us, or like the Rich Man, are you continuing to want further proofs?
