You have to remember, that in Jesus' day, there was a great fight going on. Who's the hero of the Bible? Who's the big kahuna in the Bible? Who's number one in the Bible? The two front runners were Abraham or Moses.
The big fight is finally about whether the Bible, the Old Testament as we call it, was finally about Moses or finally about Abraham. But, there was even a fight about why Abraham was so great. What makes him the father of us all, which is what this parable is all about, so that it is into his bosom you will be taken in heaven? Not Moses' bosom, but into Abraham's bosom. And that's where heaven actually is.
