Exactly, Moses was the representative of the OT and Christ is the representative of the new.
Exactly.Actually... Christ IS the new.
This parable in Luke 16 also depicts the OC [Rich man] and Lazarus[NC]
Luke 16:24 why is the rich man calling out to Father Abraham?
Lazarus and the Rich Man - Here a little, there a little - Commentary
Afterward, speaking primarily to his disciples but with the Pharisees (and probably the crowd) still listening in, Yeshua related the parable of the unjust steward (Luke 16:1-13). The Pharisees, who were "lovers of money" (Luke 16:14), realized that the Messiah was alluding to them with this parable and took offense. They scoffed at Yeshua. The final part of his response to the derision of the Pharisees and scribes was the parable of Lazarus and the rich man.
We'll now examine this parable in detail to grasp exactly what the Messiah was teaching about the kingdom of God:
LUKE 16:
26 " 'And besides all this, between us[OC/Faith/Life] and ye[OC/Law/Death] there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.' "
27 "Then he said, 'I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house, 28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.' "
29 "Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.' "
30 "And he said, 'No, father Abraham! but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
31 But he said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.' "
