Luke 16:19-31
"There was a rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, full of sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table; moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried; and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus in his bosom. And he called out, `Father Abraham, have mercy upon me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.' But Abraham said, `Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.' And he said, `Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house, for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.' But Abraham said, `They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.' And he said, `No, father Abraham; but if some one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' He said to him, `If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if some one should rise from the dead.'"

Taglarawan ni Jesus dinhi an kalainan o an deperensiya nan kaadunahan sanan kapobrehon, langit sanan impiyerno, sanan kalooy sanan waya’y pagkabana.
Si Lazarus an taghimo dinhi ni Jesus na ehemplo nan pagkamakalulooy, pagkamasakiton sanan kawad’on pero nakatuon an panan’aw sa paglaum kan God.
Kon usisahon ‘sab nato an aktuwasyon nan adunahan, waya gajud sija magpakabana sa mga butang na waya’y relasyon sa ija pagkadatu, hilabina sa kinabuhi na waya’y katapusan didto sa kalangitan kay busog, buhong sanan kompleto man an ija paghuya.
Amo na sa katapusan nan estorya ni Jesus, an datu amo na’y nahimo na makililimos pero si Lazarus an nagtamasa nan karajawan nan kinabuhi sa langit – jaon tagla’ong na reversal of fortune.
Ugsa na kon ituon kuno nato an ato mga paglaum sanan ibutang kuno nato an ato seguridad kan God sa kalangitan, dili gajud kuno kita magbasoy sa ato mga kinabuhi.

"Lord Jesus, you are my joy and my treasure. Make me rich in the things of heaven and give me a generous heart that I may freely share with others the spiritual and material treasures you have given to me."
