Jesus reveals in this story that the unsaved dead recognize their own guilt, and they acknowledge that God has been just to cast them into hell. I want you to look again at the rich man's submissive attitude. In verse 24, he begs, have mercy on me. In verses twenty seven and twenty eight, he pleads like the humblest beggar. I beg you to send Lazarus to my brothers to testify that to them, lest they come to this place of torment. Now in these pleas from the rich man, there's not a hint of rebellion. There's not the slightest suggestion that he feels that God has been unjust.
