Bible Question: Im looking for the historical context, literary context, and whether or not there is anything inspiring in the story. (Luke 16:19-31). |
Bible Answer: water100, Try to imagine that you are a man who is fairly comfortable in life. Your needs and many of your wants are pretty much met. You've so far managed to basically ignore the word of God's appeals to you for repentance and faith. Now read the story and see if it speaks relevantly to you. The passage reveals the turn of fate that is heading towards those who are content and in love with this world as their good now gives way to eternal torment. Second the passage calls very direct attention to the fact that no greater sign is coming, either they will respond to scripture's demand for repentance or they will continue their path until the day they lift up their eyes in hell. Think less about historical context and ask what purpose was this passage meant for in the conviction and salvation of lost sinners. In Christ, Beja |
