LUKE 12:13-21 TAKE IT EASY, EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY

 PARABLE OF THE RICH FOOL

EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY

JESUS HEARD A VOICE IN THE CROWD

"Someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

AM I JUDGE OR THE EXECUTOR OF YOUR WILL?

“Friend,” he said to him, “who appointed me a judge or arbitrator over you?” 

He then told them, “Watch out and be on guard against all greed, because one’s life is not in the abundance of his possessions.”

Luke 12:13-15  Christian Standard Bible  (CSB)

JESUS SPOKE A PARABLE

"Then he told them a parable: 

“A rich man’s land was very productive.  He thought to himself, ‘What should I do, since I don’t have anywhere to store my crops?  

"I will do this,’ he said. ‘I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones and store all my grain and my goods there.  

Then I’ll say to myself, “You have many goods stored up for many years. Take it easy; eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.”’

“But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life is demanded of you. And the things you have prepared—whose will they be?’

WHEN YOU DIE SOMEONE ELSE WILL GET YOUR THINGS

“That’s how it is with the one who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”   

Luke 12:16-21  Christian Standard Bible  (CSB)
