The Parable of the Rich Fool
And he told them this parable: 'The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, "What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops." Then he said, "This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I’ll say to myself, ‘You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.’" But God said to him, "You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?" This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.'

The Wealthy Investor
A successful investor accumulated immense wealth. Instead of sharing or investing in others, he focused on expanding his portfolio, thinking only of his comfort and security. One night, the investor suddenly passed away, leaving all his wealth behind. His family, unprepared, didn’t know how to handle the money, and the investor’s legacy quickly crumbled. Jesus warns us that earthly riches are temporary. Our true wealth comes from how we serve others and build God's Kingdom. God doesn’t measure us by material success but by how we use what we’ve been given to bless others. We are called to invest in eternal treasures, not just in ourselves.
