Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus
The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, found in Luke 16:19-31, illustrates the disparity between wealth and compassion. The rich man lives in luxury, ignoring Lazarus, a poor man suffering outside his door. After death, their fortunes are reversed: Lazarus is comforted in heaven, while the rich man suffers in torment. The story emphasizes the importance of compassion and warns that selfishness and disregard for others can have eternal consequences. It highlights that true wealth lies in moral and spiritual values, urging people to care for those in need.
