PARABLES — “THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS”

Jesus has been reclining with tax collectors and sinners while His disciples and some Pharisees watch and listen to His parables. After Jesus’ fourth parable in this setting, the Pharisees begin to “sneer” at Him because they were “lovers of money” and His parable had to do with God’s stewards abusing God’s wealth. Jesus is in no way intimated by their sneering, but goes on to teach yet another that also has to do with wealth. A parable with vivid imagery. A sore-covered poor man. A lavishly dressed rich man. Dogs. Gates. Angels. Chasms. Father Abraham. Moses. The Prophets. Join us as we dive into this fascinating teaching of our Lord.
