Once upon a time, there lived two very different men. One was a very rich man and the other was Lazarus a very poor man. One day Lazarus went to visit the rich man at his home hoping he could give him some food to feed  his family. When Lazarus got there he saw the rich man on his veranda eating a very Delicious meal, and asked if he could get even the crumbles from the table, but the rich man said no. Lazarus was very hurt and so he went home hungry.

One day the rich man fell ill and died, on the same day Lazarus and his family died from starvation. The rich man went to hell for he was very mean to Lazarus and his family, but Lazarus went to Heaven for he was a good man.

One day while the rich man was in torment he looked towards Heaven and saw Lazarus in the fields and called out to him, Lazarus was very happy to see the rich man, but was not too happy to see him in hell. The rich man asked Lazarus for a drink of water because he was burning up and Lazarus was more than happy to help, so Lazarus ran off to fetch the water for the rich man, on his way down to hell he heard the rich man cry out; oh Lazarus don’t bother I just remember that your hands are dirty”. Lazarus was very hurt when he heard this, with tears in his eyes he turned to the rich man and said; You are so wrong my friend, I am now clean for I have been washed in the blood of Jesus Christ, but you are, have been and always will be unclean, maybe not your hands and your body but you heart will always be dirty.

And with that he turned and went back to Heaven, and left the rich man to suffer in his own torment.
