Excerpt from Sermons, Vol. 2 of 3 And, besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you, cannot, neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. The evident meaning of the text is, that the rich man could expect no relief from heaven. Not only could Lazarus bring him none, but none could be brought. There was no communication between the two worlds. They were forever separated by an passable gulf! 'and whether its bottomless caverns will ever be filled, or a bridge erected, I shall, at present, leave those to guess, who venture to doubt the plainest text, who dare to die in their sins, 'who hope to reach heaven by the way of hell, and who hang that forlorn hepe upon a straw. Two points the parable settles -that the wicked shall be punished, and that they shall be punished after death. The rich man had received his good things. Now the beggar receives his, and the gulf that separates them is impassable. Christ did not make Abra ham say that the rich man had received part of his good things, and that the gulf was not passable at present. We seem to be taught the irreparable loss of his soul.
