Luke 12:13-21

The story about the rich fool

About the next group of questions

In this passage, we learn about why it is wrong only to think about ourselves. We learn why we should think about other people too.

Pray

Ask God to help you to understand what you read.

Read: Luke 12:13-21

12:13 What did the man in the crowd want Jesus to do?

12:15 What does Jesus warn us not to do?

12:16 What kind of a crop did the rich man’s land produce in the story?

12:17 What question did the man ask himself? What did he decide to do to keep his crops?

12:19 What did the rich man intend to do?

12:20 What did God call the rich man? Who is in control of our future?

12:21 What had the rich man done that was wrong?

Final remarks

If we only think about pleasing ourselves, we will not be able to have a relationship with God. We can trust God to forgive our sins. And then he will take us to be with him in heaven after we die. This means that we must put him first in our lives.

Pray

Lord Jesus, thank you that you died for me. And thank you that you have forgiven all my evil deeds. Thank you that you have brought me into a good relationship with God the Father in heaven. Help me to think first about your kingdom and not just about myself. Amen.
