The story of Lazarus is the main parable in this chapter. The poor man who suffered in this world was given his reward for he did no evil to anyone. But the rich man fared sumptuously, feasting on worldly pleasures, never going beyond and therefore he had his reward in the desolation, and the abomination of this earthly place where greed, selfishness, self-indulgence, lechery, incontinence reign. But Abraham received the beggar into his bosom, into his Heart, where there is peace and faithfullness. And further states that the rich man's bretheren have Moses and the Prophets. They are suffient for they were the teachers of our High Priest, Jesus Christ, or The Christ, the Messiah, the First born of the Dead. Though he were resurected yet they will not believe. We must read the whole bible to get the whole truth.
