Show Don't Tell: Luke 12:13-21

Instead of saying "Jesus told the parable of the rich fool," hear the barns creaking. Someone in the crowd says: "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." "Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?" Then to them all: "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions." The parable: A rich man's land produces a good crop. He thinks to himself: "What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops." His solution: "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 says 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." Bigger barns, no tomorrows.
