TAKE5: Greed & Selfishness/Luke 12:15-19: Jesus’ response was strong, “watch out – be on your guard against all kinds of greed.” He went on to say that life is not about possessions and began to teach about a foolish farmer. We can see that the farmer’s sin was covetousness – desiring more and more. However, a man’s happiness, comfort, soul and body do not depend upon what he has. Happiness, contentment and faith do not come from possessions, a beautiful home, the latest clothes, new car, property, money or wealth. Jesus teaches the parable about a farmer who was aggressively self-centered. In just three short verses describing his thoughts, the rich farmer in the parable said, “I” six times and “my” five times. A man that put off living and enjoying life until he got his barns built. He was a workaholic who was consumed with getting what he wanted. FOR TODAY: Make a list of the “things” God has blessed you with – Now, thank Him.
