The answer is: Abraham's

Luke 16:19-22

In this intriguing story from the Gospel of Luke, we meet two very different characters: a wealthy man who feasts every day and Lazarus, a poor man covered in sores, longing for the crumbs that fall from the rich man's table. Their fates take starkly different turns, and the aftermath is where the lesson unfolds. After both die, Lazarus finds himself carried by angels to Abraham's side, a symbol of comfort, peace, and divine favor, while the wealthy man faces torment.

You might find it fun to know that the imagery of sitting beside Abraham is rich in tradition. To be “at Abraham’s side” evokes the inclusion in God’s kingdom, presented often in Jewish texts as the ultimate destination for the righteous. Interestingly, in some insights from ancient Jewish thought, this place is referred to as “the bosom of Abraham,” a warm and nurturing locale of eternal rest for the faithful.

Moreover, this parable echoes other parts of the New Testament, including the beatitudes in Matthew, where the poor, hungry, and marginalized are recognized as blessed in God's eyes. It challenges readers not just about material wealth but the call to compassion and community — reminding us that our responsibilities to one another extend beyond the big church gatherings; they are woven into our daily fabric.

So, as we reflect on this tale, it’s more than about the dichotomy between rich and poor; it's a timeless prompt to think about kindness and care – motivations that open the gates to community and understanding.
