Study 41 of
"Search The Scriptures” Is:
Luke 16:14-31
1. For what was the rich man punished? In what
way does this parable reinforce the lesson of verse 9?
2. What does the parable teach about the
reality of future punishment and the means of avoiding it? What ought men to be
doing now? And why?
Note. Verses 16, 17. The ministry of John the Baptist marked the
end of the Jewish prerogative. Men of every race and kind could from now on
press into the kingdom. Yet the moral
law remained unchanged; e.g., verse 18, the sanctity of marriage.
