	When Goodness is Not Enough
		Dives was by all moral and cultural standards a good man. There is nothing to indicate that he accumulated his wealth by hook or crook; or indulged in drug traffic, or ran the numbers, or pimped women, or was involved in corporate greed or white collar suite crime.
		Dives goodness was characterized by power, privilege, pride, and arrogance, which isolated him from the least, the less, the lowest, the last, and the left out.
		Dives was a Good man, but his goodness represented a form of prejudice that was manifested in an abominable sinful act of omission.

	The Rich Man and Lazarus
		If these are figurative, then Abraham, Lazarus, Dives and the gulf and every part of the account are features of a picture, an allegory, as much as the fire and Abraham's bosom.
		It is clearly absurd to say that he launched immediately from the figurative mode of instruction in which he had all along been indulging, into a literal exhibition of the eternal world, and without any notice of his changed mode of expression.
		And there was a certain poor one named Lazarus who had been laid at his porch, being plagued by sores, and longing to be filled from the crumbs that were falling from the table of the rich one.

		Dives is probably not a cruel man, but he is too absorbed in himself to see poor Lazarus, sitting at the door, longing for even a scrap from the table.
		After death, Lazarus enjoys the comfort of Abraham’s bosom and Dives is the beggar who longs for even a drop of water.

		Perhaps the jury is not aware of it, but the crumbs which the reporter mentions as falling from Dives’ table were rather large hunks of bread which the guests had used to wipe their hands at a time when there were no knives and forks.
		So the sin of Dives was in failing to do something that he should have done…He should have noticed the condition of Lazarus, for he was on his doorstep every day.
		The many Lazarus figures that Vincent de Paul was subsequently to meet would be transfigured before him, and their faces would shine like the sun, and their clothes become dazzling white.

	connexions » Blog Archive » Dives and Lazarus: a sermon
		No, the point is the judgement Dives didn’t expect or even allow, the reversal of roles with Lazarus (a common gospel theme: the mighty brought down, the lowly lifted up), and, finally, the warning to Jesus’ audience, all of which we are familiar with and I won’t belabour.
		But what really interests me is Dives’ reaction to his fate, which suggests to me that “Hell is truth seen too late” is actually an over-optimistic title for the story’s denouement, for actually, ultimately, Dives doesn’t see the truth at all, he just doesn’t get it.
		Because nations are like Dives, the richer they get the more selfish they get with it, and the less likely they are to share it with the impoverished nations at their gates, whose names they know, whose faces they see – and then ignore.

		Dives is the image of indolent mankind, and his name does not appear at all, being assumed only in medieval commentaries.
		Dives had little charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, and his character is thinly drawn, save that it is wrapped in expensive purple, but he may have had more than some think.
		Lazarus bore on his weary frame the agony of real poverty, and possibly his friends and family deposited him at the rich man’s gate to rid themselves of him.

		Then the rich man requested that Lazarus be sent back to his father and his brethren because he thought that they would repent when they saw him, but Abraham told the rich man that even one resurrected from the dead would not get their attention.
		Curiously, He was also in Perea when He told the parable of Lazarus and the rich man. These two events were occurring at the same time, that is, the telling of the parable and the actual death of the real Lazarus.

	Expositions of Holy Scripture: Luke
		There may be a hint of character in the name ‘Lazarus,’ which probably means ‘God is help.’ Since this is the only name in the parables, it is natural to give it significance, and it most likely suggests that the beggar clung to God as his stay.
		Observe, too, that the relative positions of Dives and Lazarus are reversed—the beggar being now the possessor of abundance and delights, while the rich man is the sufferer and the needy.
		Dives is in torments because he lived for self; and he lived for self, not because he did not know that it was wrong, but because he did not choose to do what he knew to be right.

		Dives remembered his brothers who were still on earth, and was concerned for them and their eternal destiny.
		When Dives begged Father Abraham to send Lazarus to dip his finger in water and cool off his tongue, because he was in torment in flame, Father Abraham gently reminded Dives that he should have thought ahead, while he was still alive on earth.

	CHAPTER XVIII. THE UNJUST STEWARD - DIVES AND LAZARUS - JEWISH AGRICULTURAL NOTES - PRICES OF PRODUCE - WRITING AND ...
		It should be remembered that Dives now limits his request to the humblest dimensions, asking only that Lazarus might be sent to dip the tip of his finger in the cooling liquid, and thus give him even the smallest relief.
		But Lazarus received there the comfort which had been refused to him on earth, and the man who had made this world his good, and obtained there his portion, of which he had refused even the crumbs to the most needy, now received the meet reward of his unpitying, unloving, selfish life.
		If Lazarus of Bethany was thus to be warned in regard to the proper use of his riches, his name would have been given to Dives, and not to the beggar.

	The Continuum: Lazarus and Dives
		The story about Lazarus and the Rich Man is not about the end that awaits unbelievers, but about the difference between living faith and dead faith.
		Consequently, Dives cannot be worried about his family members (since he would be loving them) and he and Abraham cannot have the exchage they had if charity was absent or if there was no hope for Dives.
		Therefore, perhaps Dives is not in Hell (as we know it) but in Hades (as the ancient Jews knew it).

	George Fox on the Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man
		But the Jews did seek to put Lazarus to death, (whom Christ had raised from the dead,) because by reason of Lazarus, much people were turned unto Christ, and did believe on him, that Christ had raised him from the dead.
		For this rich man in hell cried unto Abraham to have mercy upon him, and for him to send poor Lazarus that be might dip the tip of his finger in water to cool his tongue; for be was tormented in the flame in hell fire.
		And therefore, for them to see the poor despised beggar Lazarus in happiness in Abraham's bosom, and a great gulf fixed between them in hell, and the poor that be in Abraham's bosom, that Abraham and the beggar cannot pass to them in hell, neither can they pass to them in heaven.
