Michael had been reading in the book of Luke chapter 16, when it dawned on him that the rich man had no compassion for Lazarus. Furthermore, after Lazarus and the rich man had both died, the rich man could see Lazarus with Abraham, and the rich man began talking to Abraham. After a serious "aha" moment, Michael thought, Wow, they aren't really dead, and it opened an entirely new perspective on what really happens to someone when they die. Michael really began to think about what brought the rich man to where he was, and Lazarus to where he was, and why.
