Jesus retells an old Egyptian folktale about a rich man and a poor man. But Jesus’ version isn’t very funny. We are shocked to see poor Lazarus resting in the bosom of Abraham, and the seemly blessed, righteous rich man going to the other place wanting comfort from Lazarus. He then pleading for someone to warn his brothers. In this story, God’s judgement reverses everything. Now Lazarus isn’t running anymore errands for the rich man. We already have everything we need in the Law and the Prophets and in Jesus Christ. Just listen to God’s word, turn around, and repent!
