Parable of a Rich Fool tells not to be Covetous, and that Life is not by the Abundance of things.

Link to the transcript of the clip: http://truegospel.com/richfool.html Jesus shifts the gear of his kingdom from the world to Heaven. "16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:" It is a plentiful harvest, and it is in the old testament settings; and so, it is a blessing from God. So, the rich man could have considered it as from god and so, he was blessed. But God was shifting his gear from the kingdom of David, that is from the kingdom of Jews in the world, to the kingdom of God in heaven. God took away the Old and established the New. In the old testament, Abraham, Jacob, Solomon, and Job were not simply rich; they were very rich and were praised for it. Whatever they decided to do with their riches were fine. But this rich man was in the time of transition from the Old to the New; we are in the new covenant, the Old is void. "17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods." He had a lot more harvest than he ever expected, of course it is a blessing in the old testament setting; the covenant was not changed yet; and now he was planning how he could keep the grain for a long time. So, in the old testament settings, to enjoy the blessings in life was perfectly fine and it was not sin, but it was the gift of God; even to build a larger barn was not sin. So, his plans to keep the blessing, and not to distribute them, was not sin. This man in the parable, neither desires for more, nor shares what he has. He wants to take it easy, and to enjoy the rest of the future life. They were not sins! But Jesus Christ called him a fool. What was his offense? It is that he did not consider eternal life. Please realize that it is a parable to teach the New to his disciples. There might not have been a Rich Fool existed at all. But the parable is important since Jesus Christ is teaching an important new lesson even to us. Rich man is a fool; worldly blessings are not for eternity. Christians are not true Christians until they realize that they are not only a living body as animals, but also they are eternal Soul beings. We are born as body and soul. And so, we have a soul life and a body life. Our bodies die, but our souls will not die. Our souls need the Spirit to live for God, as our bodies need circulating blood to live. If we are not born of the Spirit, we cannot live for God. The rich man says in "19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry." This guy is from the old testament order, he is not a Christians, and he does not know that a man has body and soul; and so, he refers his body and soul as soul, but soul will not eat, drink, and be merry. Now Jesus Christ, through the parable, teaches that we are body and soul. When the body dies; the soul will leave the body. "20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?" He simply says that if you die tonight, your plenty of riches will be of no value to you instantly. We think along with bible teachers that Jesus was condemning the rich man; but it is a parable, and so he rather was teaching his disciples and others that we have souls, and we must take care of our souls also along with our bodies. "21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." Rich towards God simply means to invest your things in heaven also, so that your souls will also have riches.
