THE RICH FOOL LUKE 12:13-21 Luke 12:16-21 And he told them this parable: The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.” “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' "This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.” Questions In the parable, do you think the rich man felt secure? Why? How did God evaluate the rich man’s achievements and values? What was his future in God’s eyes. Questions Imagine yourself to be the rich man. You have worked so hard and accumulated so much. You feel so secure. Now comes God’s judgment. HOW DO YOU FEEL? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? Question
How does knowing this in
advance affect the direction of your life from here on? Questions What are some of our securities in life? Are they really secure? What are we really living for?
1.Many work just to make a living. Beyond that, they
have not really thought about what they are living for. In effect, they are simply drifting through life. 2.Some live for themselves. They accumulate money/position/fame for their own enjoyment. What are we really living for?
3. Some live for others, like caring for the sick,
providing a means of livelihood for the poor without helping people find God. Their intention is good, but their efforts cannot bring real peace and joy to people, which only a right relationship with God can bring. What are we really living for?
4. Some live for God and people.
They love God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength, and love others as themselves. Questions Is it wrong to accumulate wealth and be rich? When is it wrong and when is it not? How then should we regard possessions? Questions What key principles did Jesus lay down in verses 15 and 21? What does “rich toward God” in verse 21 mean? Questions How can a person “live for God”? What does it mean and what does it involve? Reflection 1.Do I spend most of my time and energy accumulating money/honor/position for myself? 2.How I can please Him (GOD), or myself and my problems and needs? CONCLUSION Today’s world measures man’s success by the amount of money he earns or possesses. For this reason, possessions – and how to accumulate even more – have become an overpowering priority in place of pleasing God. May we, as modern Christians, be found and called “rich toward God” rather than later be condemned by Christ as “rich fools”. REFLECT
