Luke 16:25 Son. Abraham recognizes the fleshly tie. His answer is fatherly, affectionate. Remember. Analogy gives us every reason to suppose that in the disembodied state the whole life on earth will lie before the soul in all its thoughts, words, and deeds, like the map of the past journey before a traveler (Alford). Thy good things. He was of the number who receive their portion in this life, instead of that good part which shall never be taken from them. He had preferred the world and its rewards, and had obtained them. But he had lost the world to come. "Thy" is emphatic. Earthly possessions and enjoyments were his choice. Now he is comforted. The saved leave all sorrows behind when they leave the earth; the lost leave all their joys behind.
