He Was a Good Judge of Character

People who still don’t think that the pandemic is a real threat remind me of the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man.

The rich man, who died and is now in torment, asks Abraham to send Lazarus to warn the rich man’s brothers not to live as he did, and end up where he did.

Abraham replies, “They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.”

“No, father Abraham,” says the rich man, “but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.”

Abraham says, “If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.”



Yep. Pretty much true. No matter what you do, some people will not be convinced.
