The Rich Man and Lazarus is the go-to proof text for hell. Flames, a great chasm, a man begging for a drop of water. But what if that’s the one question Jesus wasn’t answering?

In this episode we read Luke 16 the way Luke built it. The chapter opens with “you cannot serve God and money,” then the Pharisees, who loved money, ridicule Jesus. This parable is his reply. It isn’t a map of the afterlife. It puts the powerful on trial for stepping over the weak at their gate.
