In Luke 16:9-31 Jesus tells a parable that incorporates and agrees with the Common Rabbinic teaching of the time. The Rabbinic teaching was that there were two sides of Hades or the holding place of the dead. Likewise in His parable Jesus talks of Hades having two chambers. One side a hot dry place and the other side paradise or Abraham’s bosom. The hot dry side contained the unrighteous dead while the Paradise or Abraham’s bosom side contained those the died before Christ that were righteous and looking for their Messiah to save them. When Jesus died on the cross he descended into Hades to the Paradise or Abraham’s bosom side and preached the “Good News” then as Eph 4:8 says lead captivity captive to heaven where they now dwell with Jesus. Paul teaches us in 2 Cor 5:8 that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. So when a saved person dies today they go directly into the presence of the Lord. |
