In response to two brothers fighting over an inheritance, Jesus says, “one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” Jesus illustrates this truth with a parable about a “rich fool” who builds bigger barns to keep his abundance all to himself (Luke 12:13-21). As Jesus teaches, our toil for worldly possessions is vanity (Ecclesiastes 2); our labor for the Lord is never in vain (1 Cor 15:58). The stuff that money can buy is fleeting; the love we give and receive is eternal (Luke 12:22-34). Bigger barns cannot give our life meaning; bigger hearts will.
