The rich farmer
Luke 12, 13-21
A MAN SAYS TO JESUS: „I HAVE A BIG PROBLEM. MY BROTHER AND I ARE FIGHTING. WE GOT A LOT OF MONEY. NOW WE ARE FIGHTING. PLEASE HELP ME!“
JESUS ANSWERS: “WATCH OUT! IT IS NOT GOOD TO BE GREEDY FOR MONEY!“
JESUS WANTS TO TELL A STORY: “A FARMER HAS MANY FIELDS AND A GOOD CROP. HE ALSO HAS BARNS.“
“THE RICH FARMER LOOKS AT HIS SMALL BARNS. HE WANTS TO TEAR THEM DOWN AND BUILD BIGGER BARNS, WHERE HE CAN STORE ALL OF THE CROPS.“
“THEN THE RICH FARMER WILL HAVE A LOT OF MONEY. HE WILL HAVE A LOT TO EAT AND DRINK. HE CAN LIVE A GOOD LIFE AND ENJOY IT!“
“BUT GOD TELLS HIM: 'YOU FOOL!' THE FARMER WILL DIE TONIGHT!“
“GOD ASKS: 'YOUR BARNS AND FIELDS: WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH THEM?'“
“THE FARMER CANNOT BRING HIS BARNS WITH HIM TO GOD. HIS HANDS ARE EMPTY! HE CAN BRING NOTHING! WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT: TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD!“
