Luk 16:22 | MHM | STEP | v. 22 : The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. Here is the different condition of this godly poor man, and this wicked rich man, at and after death. Death comes to both, but what a difference in their reception! Lazarus is honored with an angelic escort to Abraham’s bosom, while the rich man receives only burial. As wicked people have good things only in this life, and at death are for ever separated from all good, so godly people have evil things only in this life, and at death they are for ever put from them.

v. 22: The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. Here is the different condition of this godly poor man, and this wicked rich man, at and after death. Death comes to both, but what a difference in their reception! Lazarus is honored with an angelic escort to Abraham’s bosom, while the rich man receives only burial. As wicked people have good things only in this life, and at death are for ever separated from all good, so godly people have evil things only in this life, and at death they are for ever put from them.
