THE LORD JESUS AS A TEACHER

1. The Lord Jesus was a Master-Teacher.

2. He could turn any situation into an effective teaching point.

3. He was a master at creating and telling Parables.

THE PARABLE OF THE RICH FOOL

“Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: ‘The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’ So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. And I will say to my soul, ‘Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.’’’ But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose
will those things be which you have provided?’ ‘So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.’”

Luke 12:16-21

1. This Parable cleverly described those who were rich in those days.

2. The Rich Man in the Parable.

a. He was already rich.
b. His crops had done very well.
c. His plan:
i. To increase wealth.
ii. To make plans for further growth in his wealth.
d. His thoughts:
i. He is pleased with himself.
ii. His philosophy of life: “Take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.”
e. Huge flaws:
i. He had no thoughts about God.
ii. He had not thought about Death.

3. God comes into the picture

“Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?”

Luke 12:20

a. What happens when one dies?
b. All the provisions made in life will come to nothing!
c. The rich man was rightly called “Fool!”

4. The point of this Parable.

“So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God”

Luke 12:21

a. True wealth is not in material riches.
b. Laying up treasures on earth for self at the expense of knowing God is truly foolish.

无知财主的比喻

“就用比喻对他们说：“有一个财主田产丰盛， 自己心里思想说：‘我的出产没有地方收藏，怎么办呢？’ 又说：‘我要这么办：要把我的仓房拆了，另盖更大的，在那里好收藏我一切的粮食和财物， 然后要对我的灵魂说：“灵魂哪，你有许多财物积存，可做多年的费用，只管安安逸逸地吃喝快乐吧！”’ 神却对他说：‘无知的人哪，今夜必要你的灵魂，你所预备的要归谁呢？’ 凡为自己积财，在神面前却不富足的，也是这样。””
