By request of several readers of
The Herald, we are publishing a
vnopBls of the aernion delivered on
June 20, at Immanuel'a Lutheran
church by the pastor, Rev. Tltua
Lang. The sermon was on Luke 16,

and Lazarus, entitled "Hell and
Heaven, the eternal destinies of Man
Only Two Places, Hell and Heav
en."
Mr. Lang said:
A Rreat and Important truth Is
"brought home to us In the gospel les
on. Luke 16, 11-31. The Lord here
relates a parable or rather gives
.description of two men, the rich man
nd ooor Lazarus, of their life here coveting after riches and the abuse
on earth and their destinies beyond of wealth Is a sin in the sight of God.

his life. We learn fro:u this lesson
that as there are only two ways.
Ither of which every person must
ravel here on earth, the broad way
of destruction and the narrow way
of life, so there are only two destina
tions to which this life leads, namely
heaven and hell. When his hour
has come, and his time here on earth
completed, every person must
leave this world and die. The rich
man and the poor alike must pass
away There is no escape from death
for anyone. "With equal race im
partial fate knocks at the palace as
he cottage gate." And after aeam
the souls of the departed pass either
into heaven or into hell, to be bless
ed or to suffer in all eternity. That
is what the Bible, the word of God,
teaches. There Is no third place
Neither can we evade either of these
two places. It Is useless for us to
do away with hell, at dome have tried
to do, and it Is vain for us to seek
heaven here on earth In the so-called
mlllenium, or a thousand years of
joy and happiness In this world,
which some have Invented. In spite
of these inventions of human reason,
the fact remains according to the
word of God, that hell and heaven
are the two eternal destinations, In
to either of which all human crea
tures must enter after this life, and
for our benefit, to warn us and to
comfort us these two places are de
scribed In the gospel lesson before
us.
What Kind of A riace Is Hell?
We read in our text that the rich
man, who clothed nimseir in purple
and fine linen and lived sumptuously
every day of his life here on earth,
who finally died and was burled, was
found In hell after his death (v. 23).
From this we learn that hell cannot
be found here on earth. Neither is
hell the grave, where the bodies of
those departed from this life are laid
to rest. For the body in the grave
Is dead, but here we find the rich
man after his death alive In hell.
Hell is therefore a place beyond this
life, beyond the grave. And furth
ermore, we learn that hell Is a place
of intense and infernal sufferings.
The rich man "In hell lifted up his
eyes being In torment" (v. 23). He
was tormented by a flame of fire (v.
24), and to add to his sufferings be
was permitted to behold from afar
the bliss and happiness of poor Laz
arus, a saint in heaven (v. 23), but
at the Bame time he learned that
there was a deep gulf fixed between
heaven and hell, so that no one could
pass from one place to the other, and
that therefore there was for him no
hope of release, no end of his Infern
al sufferings in sight. Oh, behold,
what a terrible place .hell Is. A place
where they who there abide suffer
Intense and indlscribable pain in a
pool of fire, "where their worm dleth
not and their fire is not quenched and
they are an abhorrance to all flesh
(Is. 66-24), where they shall be tor
mented with fire and brimstone In
the presence of the holy angels and
in the presence of the lamb, and the
smoke of their torment ascendeth
from everlasting to everlasting and
they have no rest day and night."
(Kev. 14, 11-12.)
What brought this rich man to bell
was not so much his outward appear
ance as moreover the deplorable con
dition of his soul. He did not con
sider his own sinful condition. He
did not believe In and did not seek
his true God and saviour. He lived
only for this world and did not pre
pare nor provide himself for eternity.
He lacked the true love toward God
and toward his neighbor, which
springs only from faith In Christ Je
sus, and which alone makes a man
truly happy. He was an unbeliev
ing. Indifferent, easygoing man of
the world. And this his unbelief
and consequent lack of love toward
God and bis neighbor was the great
sin, for which he had to suffer in
hell. This hell is a place prepared
for the devil and his angels where
they are found, who in this life fol
low the devil in unbelief and sin, for
saking their God, his word, his love,
and neglecting the poor and needy.
All these will find out that as they
forsake God here on earth he will al
so forsake them in hell, for he says,
Whosoever believeth not shall be
damned." 'Mc. 16, 16.)
Salvation from Hell
But is there do salvation from
hell? Certainly there la. And this
salvation Is now at hand. The rich
man In hell realized this (v. 27-28).
He was worried about h's five breth
ren. But Abraham told him: "They
have Moses and the prophets, let
them hear them. Thus we are sav
ed from hell by Moses and the propb
ets, by the word of God, the gospel
of our Lord Jesus Christ, In which
God for Jesus sake promises forglv
eness of sins, life and salvation to
every sinner and which he causes
freely to be preached oa earth.
Would you then be saved from hell,
then come and hear this word and
accept it in true faith. Believe it,
that "God so loved the world that be
gave his only begotten Son, that all
who believe in him should not perish
but have everlasting life." Accept
this word in true faith and you will
escape the torments of bell to enjoy
the blessings of heaven which are
also described in our text.
Heaven and It IHesMing
Near the gate of the rich man's
palace there lay, according to our
text, a certain beggar, named Lazar
us, a poor miserable creature. He
had no home, no food, no clothes. He
desired to be fed of the crumbs
which fell from the rich man's table,
but we are not told that he always
received them. Besides he was sick.
His body was Covered with sores,
Yet in his misery he received no
medical attention. He had no bed
upon which to rest, no friends except
the rich man s dogs, which came and
licked his sores, thus bringing him
some relief. Finally he died. Noth
ing is said of his burial. A hole was
probably dug somewhere and his bo
dy tumbled in. A beggar's grave re
ceived it.
But of this beggar we read that
upon his death he, namely his soul,
was "carried by angels into the bos
om of Abraham" (v. 22). that is, to
heaven. Now what kind of a place
is heaven? It is certainly no place
here on earth, no, not a place of mis

In this infernal place of suffering i ery, pain and death such as Lazarus
we find the rich man. And why? experienced here on earth. Heaven
Not because God wished him to bells a place beyond this life, the dwell
there. God wishes to condemn no ' ing place of angels and of saints, the
man to hell, he has not prepared hell ; garden of Eden, the bosom of Abra
for man, but only for the devil ami 'ham. where Lazarus and they that
his angels. Not because he was are like him enter in the hour of
rich, for not wealth in itself, only the death according to the soul, and fin
ally upon tne ressurection on tne last
day according to the body also, to
live in unspeakable comfort and hap
piness, in blissful serenity and peace
undisturbed in the presence of God
and their saviour in all eternity.
(Rev. 14, 13.)
But who will go to heaven? We
learn that Lazarus, the poor and de
seased beggar, went to heaven. And
he entered this place not because of
his poverty and sickness, for poverty
and sickness are the consequences of
sin, and rather point to death and
damnation. Lazarus was by nature
a sinner and no better than any other
human being here on earth. But
Lazarus repented of his Bins and be
lieved, trusted In the fact that God
had forgiven him his sins, as his
name, "Lazarus", meaning "help of
God", implies. Thus they with Laz
arus go to heaven who repent of
their Bins and believe that by God's
grace for Jesus sake their sins are
forgiven, as eJsus says, Mk. 16, 16:
"Whosoever believeth and is baptiz
ed shall be saved." And to these
blessings of heaven we are lead only
in one way, namely by "Moses and
the phophets", by the word of God,
the law and the gospel, as revealed
to us in the Bible. Would you
therefore wish to go to heaven, then
come and hear and learn and study
the word of God, learn to believe ac
cording to this word on Jesus, your
saviour, and his atonement made for
you, for the Scripture says: "Believe
on Jesus Christ and thou shalt be
saved and thine house."
