Luke 16:19 - 16:31
Gospel of LukeSteve Gregg
In this segment, Steve Gregg analyzes Luke 16:19-31, where Jesus tells a parable about a wealthy man and a poor man named Lazarus who dies and goes to Abraham's bosom while the wealthy man goes to Hades. Gregg argues that the parable is not meant to be a teaching on the afterlife but rather a commentary on the obstinance of the Jews in rejecting the law and the prophets even after Jesus rose from the dead. He also emphasizes Luke's gospel as being favorable toward the poor and providing strict warnings for the privileged rich.
