Our Brother (Luke 16:19-31) - Peter J. Williams

The Rich Man thinks he can ignore Lazarus at his gate. Only after death does he suddenly become interested in how Lazarus might be able to assist him. This parable contains various allusions to the Old Testament which challenge us to care for the needy. It also points out that our time is limited and that the Scriptures are sufficient evidence for our evangelism.<br />
