Why does it call Abraham's bosom? Why did God choose the bosom of Abraham to embrace Lazarus? Well look at Luke 13 and verse 27 if you would, now if you remember the Last Supper with Jesus Christ, he's eating with his disciples and who is that one person laying on his bosom? It's John, it's a pretty honorable position is it not, to be able to be so close to the Lord during a supper that he can just lean on his bosom. I mean who can say they lean on the bosom of Jesus Christ? I mean that's great. Look at Luke 13 verse 27, but he shall say I tell you I know you not I know you not whence ye are depart from me all ye workers of iniquity there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth when ye shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and ye yourselves thrust out and they shall come from the east and from the west and from the north and from the south and shall sit down in the kingdom of God and behold there are there are last which shall be first and there are first which shall be last Lazarus was a beggar Lazarus was nothing in this world he hold he held no prestigious position he I mean the only friends he had were the dogs that licked the sores on his body but yet because he was last here he was first up there so think about this you know to die and be carried into the bosom of Abraham shows you that even though he was least here he was despised God made him first in heaven and by proof and he proved that by placing him in the bosom of a famous patriarch in the eyes of the Jews because Abraham is very popular in the eyes of the Jews I mean father Abraham you know the Pharisee says we are of Abraham our father and obviously you know they were the father of the devil so what the purpose of putting Lazarus in the bosom of Abraham is to show us that the most despised thing in this world you can be the least in this world the off scouring of this world but you will have clout in heaven you'll be rubbing shoulders with the greats in heaven I mean that's what Matthew that's what Luke chapter 13 is teaching us it's like the kingdom the children of the kingdom shall be thrust out into outer darkness but there's going to be people from the east from the west from the north and from the south referring to gentiles and they're going to sit with Abraham Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven they get first dibs why because it says they are last which shall be first and there are first which shall be last
