The parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus is one of the most unforgettable and chilling parables of Christ. It is unique to the Gospel of Luke, and as J. R. Dummelow indicates, it is “full of that sympathy with the poor which characterises [Luke’s] Gospel.” But sympathy with the poor is accompanied by a warning to the rich. Charlotte Mason picks up on the theme in her 16-stanza poem based on this parable. The handwritten poem has never been published, but you can read or hear our transcribed version today. Find it here.
