But God said to him, “Fool! This very night the demand will be made for your soul; and this hoard of yours, whose will it be then?” So it is when a man stores up treasure for himself in place of making himself rich in the sight of God.
Lk.12:21
In response to a request to settle a family inheritance dispute, Jesus gives a warning about greed.
It seems almost weekly that a news story surfaces about another family inheritance quarrel before the courts. It makes sad reading about a family imploding. Jesus warns about treasures on earth. They are always temporal, never giving laying satisfaction.
The difficulty is that treasures in heaven aren't visible, aren't always before me. Or are they? I spent time wasting time with some grandchildren yesterday. Treasures? Yes. Eternal? Yes.
Thank you Jesus for the treasures you have given me.
