As our journey through Luke continues, Jesus gives a startling warning through the story of the rich man and Lazarus. In this famous parable, he draws a contrast between the nameless, callous rich man and the poor beggar, Lazarus. In a reversal of fortunes, the rich man encounters eternal suffering after his death while Lazarus is given comfort. The wake up call serves as a much-needed reminder for us as we’re tempted to deeply invest in this life without considering eternity.
