Today, Benny shares his thoughts and lessons on the story of Richie Rich and Mise Lazi.

“And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried…”

“So I noticed 2 different occurrences after each of them died. After Mise Lazi died he was carried by angels into Abraham’s bosom and when Richie rich died, he was buried like any other human being.

What caused these differences since we are all Abraham’s offspring? I believe when Richie Rich wanted his family to repent, he didn’t mean anything more than them realizing who they really are. Repent: Re – pent (Pent – means the topmost; Re – go back).

So what he meant was that he had fallen from the topmost point of life. He had missed it at some point but he wanted his siblings to go back to the topmost. It could be that we are not at the bottom but our lives are just okay and in the middle somewhere. God wants us to go back to the topmost point with Him. Amen.”
