12:13 眾人中有一個人對耶穌說：「夫子！請你吩咐我的兄長和我分開家業。」
12:14 耶穌說：「你這個人！誰立我作你們斷事的官，給你們分家業呢？」
12:15 於是對眾人說：「你們要謹慎自守，免去一切的貪心，因為人的生命不在乎家道豐富。」
12:16 就用比喻對他們說：「有一個財主田產豐盛；
12:17 自己心裡思想說：『我的出產沒有地方收藏，怎麼辦呢？』
12:18 又說：『我要這麼辦：要把我的倉房拆了，另蓋更大的，在那裡好收藏我一切的糧食和財物，
12:19 然後要對我的靈魂說：靈魂哪，你有許多財物積存，可作多年的費用，只管安安逸逸地吃喝快樂吧！』
12:20 上帝卻對他說：『無知的人哪，今夜必要你的靈魂；你所預備的要歸誰呢？』
12:21 凡為自己積財，在上帝面前卻不富足的，也是這樣。」
13 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14 Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” 15 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”
16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’
18 “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. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’
20 “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?’
21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”

主耶穌在這裡教導人：「你們要謹慎自守，免去一切的貪心，因為人的生命不在乎家道豐富。」
人要盼望的是「在上帝面前富足」！當然在上帝面前富足是要積財寶在天上，如何積呢？除了奉獻給上帝之外，幫助貧窮的人不求回報的，也是積財寶在天上！
也因為如此，我們要靠聖靈給我們的愛心，幫助該幫助的人，上帝必定讓我們在他面前也富足，這是勝過積財寶在地上的！
當然擁有主耶穌是我們最大的富足！正如保羅以耶穌基督為至寶，其他一切如糞土！
