"It was not easy for Lazarus in his great distress to see the rich man with his great abundance of everything (Luke 16:21). But does not the same rich man present a sorry spectacle in hell after his death? Let us, therefore, not be offended by the good fortune of the ungodly; but let us open our spiritual eyes and keep in mind that such people are enjoying transitory and deceptive advantages in this world. We, however, who are afflicted and who live in the fear of God, have the hope of an eternal kingdom, when the ungodly will be subjected to eternal punishment."
