A Rich Fool

WRAP UP

The Rich Fool was worried about how to keep all the grain for himself. In this story, Jesus is reminding us that we shouldn’t spend all our time focusing on storing up things for ourselves! So what was he to do with the grain? It would be a waste just to let it rot, wouldn’t it? Throughout the Bible we learn that as friends of Jesus we should share our belongings with those in need. The Rich Fool not only focused on collecting wealth for himself, but he also never shared it with those in need.
