The following material supplements the suggested lesson outline. You may want to use one or more of these ideas as part of the lesson.
Read and discuss Luke 14:7–11.
Have class members read and discuss the parable in Luke 16:19–31.
Youth may enjoy dramatizing this parable. Place two class members (Abraham and Lazarus) on one side of a barrier such as a row of chairs (the great gulf), and another class member (the rich man) on the other side. Have a fourth class member be the narrator. Have the class members read their lines directly out of Luke 16:19–31, with the narrator reading everything that is not directly spoken by one of the other characters.
