About this episode
Zane C. Hodges discusses the implications of pleasure and eternal life through the parable of the rich man and Lazarus.
Luke 16:19-31 Pleasure Has an Exit Door Marked Death Zane C. Hodges (1993) What is the most potent, the most addictive, the most intoxicating, and the most dangerous drug known to man? Pleasure. The purpose of the story of the rich man and Lazarus is not to explain why Lazarus and the rich man are where they are, but to show that these two men have traded places. Those who never believe in Jesus Christ for the free gift of eternal life will one day find that their days of pleasure will come to an end. The Word of God is more valuable than a whole lifetime filled with pleasure. The only really stable and solid thing in this world is the Word of God. Other passages: 2 Cor 5:8; Ephesians 2:8-9; Luke 24:13, 25-27.
