By the parable of the foolish rich man, Christ showed the folly of those who make the world their all.

The injustice of the rich toward the poor, the hatred of the poor

toward the rich, alike have their root in selfishness, and this can be eradicated only through submission to Christ. He alone, for the selfish heart of sin, gives the new heart of love.

But the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. 1 Corinthians 3:19. While the rich man is looking forward to years of enjoyment, the Lord is making far different plans. The message comes to this unfaithful steward, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee. Luke 12:20. Here is a demand that money cannot supply. The wealth he has treasured can purchase no reprieve. In one moment that which he has toiled through his whole life to secure becomes worthless to him.
