Example. A poor Lazarus laid down a blanket covered in boil and diseases and saw a rich man singing with his drunk friends. He saw the rich man every day. When time finally came and each soul was taken up, there we see-- the rich man in hell, in agonizing pain. Lazarus, who lived in hunger and till the day he died, looked down from heaven in Abraham's bosom. To our eyes, Lazarus lived a failure life, having nothing and done nothing. Yet he is in heaven and rich man is in hell. Did Jesus lie?

One day, I saw a 20 dollar bill in the street. Woooo I picked it up and gave it to a poor guy I saw. Then the next day I got a $ 12,000 job. God did it. Amen.

But is this what Jesus taught me? No. Is this what eternal life is about? No. Is this what life before rapture is about? No. Then what is this about? And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: id est, not important.
