In biblical context, death is often seen as a transition rather than an end. The beggar, likely representing those who are poor in spirit, finds his earthly suffering concluded. This aligns with the Beatitudes, where Jesus blesses the poor and those who mourn (<a href="/matthew/5-3.htm">Matthew 5:3-4</a>).and was carried by the angels This imagery suggests a divine escort, emphasizing the care God provides for His faithful even in death. Angels are often depicted as messengers and servants of God, playing roles in significant biblical events (e.g., <a href="/genesis/28-12.htm">Genesis 28:12</a>, <a href="/matthew/4-11.htm">Matthew 4:11</a>). The presence of angels here underscores the beggar's righteousness and God's approval.to Abraham’s side Abraham is a patriarchal figure, representing the covenant and promises of God to His people (<a href="/genesis/12.htm">Genesis 12:1-3</a>). Being at Abraham's side implies a place of honor and comfort, often interpreted as a metaphor for paradise or heaven. This reflects the Jewish understanding of the afterlife during Jesus' time, where the righteous would be gathered with the patriarchs.And the rich man also died and was buried The rich man's death is noted without the mention of angels, highlighting a stark contrast in their eternal destinies. Burial was a significant cultural practice, often elaborate for the wealthy, yet it underscores that earthly riches do not influence one's standing before God. This echoes Jesus' teachings on the dangers of wealth and the need for spiritual richness (<a href="/matthew/6-19.htm">Matthew 6:19-21</a>, <a href="/luke/12-15.htm">Luke 12:15-21</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_beggar.htm">The Beggar (Lazarus)</a> A poor man who suffered greatly in life, representing those who are humble and dependent on God. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_rich_man.htm">The Rich Man</a> A wealthy individual who lived in luxury, symbolizing those who are self-reliant and neglectful of spiritual matters. 3. <a href="/topical/a/angels.htm">Angels</a> Heavenly beings who serve God and minister to His people, here depicted as carrying Lazarus to a place of comfort. 4. <a href="/topical/a/abraham's_side.htm">Abraham’s Side (Bosom)</a> A metaphorical place of honor and comfort in the afterlife, representing the blessings of being in God’s presence. 5. <a href="/topical/d/death.htm">Death</a> The event that transitions both Lazarus and the rich man from earthly life to their respective eternal destinies.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_reality_of_eternal_destinies.htm">The Reality of Eternal Destinies</a> Our earthly status does not determine our eternal destiny.

It rested on the idea of a great feast, in which Abraham was the host. To lie in his bosom, as St. John in that of our Lord's (<a href="/john/13-23.htm" title="Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.">John 13:23</a>), was to be there as the most favoured guest. And this was the position which was assigned to the beggar, obviously not merely as a compensation for the "evil things" he had endured on earth, but as the crown of the faith and patience with which he had borne them. The being "carried by angels" was literally in accord with the popular Jewish belief. Either good angels in general, or the special guardian angels of the righteous, took on them this office.The rich man also died, and was buried.--As no mention is made of the burial of the beggar, it is obvious that there is something specially distinctive in the word. It had been, we may imagine, a stately burial, with hired mourners and all the pageantry of woe. such as within a few weeks, or even days, was to be the portion of the historic Lazarus of Bethany.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/luke/16.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 22. - And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. At last kind death came, and relieved Lazarus of his sufferings. His dismissal, as might have been expected, preceded that of the rich man; for he was enfeebled by a deadly disease. We must not, of course, press too much the details we find in parables; still, from our Lord's way of speaking of the great change in the cases of both Lazarus and Dives, it would seem as though there was absolutely no pause between the two lives of this world and the world to come. The rich man evidently is pictured as closing his eyes upon his gorgeous surroundings here, and opening them directly again upon his cheerless surroundings there. Lazarus is described as being borne at once into Abraham's bosom. Indeed, some interpret the words as signifying that the body as well as the soul was carried by angels into Paradise. It is, however, better, with Calvin, to understand the expression as alluding only to Lazarus's soul; of the body of the pauper nothing was said, as men probably contemptuously, if not carelessly, buried it with the burial rites which such homeless, friendless ones too often receive. The place whither the blest Lazarus went is termed "Abraham's bosom." This term was used by the Jews indifferently, with "the garden of Eden," or "under the throne of glory," for the home of happy but waiting souls. The rich man also died, and was buried. There is a terrible irony here in this mention of burial. This human pageantry of woe was for the rich man what the carrying by the angels into Abraham's bosom was for Lazarus - it was his equivalent; but while these empty honours were being paid to his senseless, deserted body, the rich man was already gazing on the surroundings of his new and cheerless home.
