Ep 9. The Parable of The Rich Man and Lazarus

The Parables of Jesus for Kids season 3 episode 9 is titled "The Parable of The Rich Man and Lazarus." The episode tells the story of a rich man who lived a luxurious life and a beggar named Lazarus who lived outside his gate. While the rich man had everything he could wish for, Lazarus was a poor man who had nothing and ate whatever scraps he could find.

One day, both the rich man and Lazarus die, but their fates are drastically different. Lazarus is taken to heaven by angels while the rich man is sent to hell. In hell, the rich man is tormented by flames and asks Abraham to send Lazarus to give him some water. Abraham tells the rich man that it's impossible to help him now, as there is a great chasm between heaven and hell that separates them.

The rich man then asks Abraham to send Lazarus to warn his brothers so that they don't end up in hell like him. Abraham tells the rich man that his brothers have the Scriptures, which they should learn from and follow. If they don't, then even if someone rises from the dead, they won't listen to him.

The episode teaches an important lesson to kids about the dangers of greed and ignoring the needs of those in need. It shows that simply being wealthy and living a luxurious life is not enough, as true happiness comes from being kind and considerate to others, treating them with compassion and respect, and following the teachings of Jesus.

Overall, "The Parable of The Rich Man and Lazarus" is a thought-provoking and educational episode that teaches kids the importance of empathy and kindness towards others. It encourages them to be generous and considerate to those in need, and to always strive to do the right thing, no matter how challenging it may seem.
