Jesus tells the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus.  The Rich Man dies and begs Father Abraham to send a warning to his brothers by way of a wretched beggar named Lazarus who also died.  In short Jesus' story has nothing doing with the idea.  Instead he says, "If your brothers don't listen to Moses and the prophets, meaning to the ones God has already sent, then they will not listen to anyone."

In the 21st century, the media, the print, we are surrounded with, flooded by the availability of the Word of God, we don't need more voices, we need to act on the Word we have.  Evidently God sends enough Jacob Marley's.

 

Joyfully,
