Meditations:
1) In this account, the beggar Lazarus died and was carried to Jesus’s presence. Abraham’s bosom is another term of being in the presence of Jesus or heaven.
2) The angels carried Lazarus to the presence of Jesus. In a similar way, when we die, we entrust our soul to be carried to Jesus’s presence by the angels. We do not need to know the way to heaven, the angels will carry our soul there.
3) Cross reference to 2 Corinthians 5:8:
8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. -kjv
When we are absent from the body, we will be present with the Lord.
