Today’s text illustrates a stunning reversal. In this life a rich man is feasting, and a poor man is starving. In this life a rich man is clothed with fine linen, while a poor man is covered in sores. But when both men die the rich man ends up tormented in hell, while the poor man is comforted in heaven. This story serves as a warning against indifference and greed. And it also serves as a reminder that in eternity God’s justice will right every wrong in this life.
