09-16 - LUKE 12:13-21

paraphrased ‘enter the story’

  🕊️reading & study 🕊️

13 - Someone in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher! Tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me!” 14 But Jesus said, “Who made me the judge or executor between you?” 15 And to the crowd, “Take care, and be on your guard against covetousness, for one's life doesn’t consist in the abundance of possessions.”

     16 So he told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man produced a great harvest, 17 and he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? For I haven’t room to store my crops.’ 18 So he said to himself, ‘I will do this, I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones! And so I shall store all my grain and goods. 19 And I’ll say to myself, ‘Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years. Relax, eat, drink, and be merry.’ 20 But then God said to him, ‘Foolish one, this very night your life [psuche - soul, life, self, personhood, inner being] is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ 21 So are all who lay up treasure for theirself, and are noT rich toward God.” {Futility, dust thou art.}
