Title: Two Foolish and Foolish Rich Guys
The first rich fool is the real person in verses 13-15. Why was this man evaluated as a fool? Tens of thousands of people gathered to Jesus, enough to be trampled underfoot. He was preaching. But at that important hour, from the crowd, a man spoke to Jesus. “Teacher!! My brother is going to have all the inheritances of his parents, please tell me, Jesus, to share that heritage with me instead of taking it alone!! “Now is the time to listen to the divine word of heaven. But He was not interested in spiritual matters and was thinking about sharing personal property. These are the thoughts and actions of fools and fools. Jesus is not sharing, he is talking about the folly of not knowing who I am. He tells people to turn away from covetousness while looking at people.
Why are the two people in the text foolish and stupid and rich? They did not realize the visible and the invisible. They could not distinguish the eternal from the momentary. They could not distinguish the time and the place. Is it a moment? I couldn't even discern who Jesus was and why He came. Are there only fools of the rich? There are many wise and rich people who have been blessed. There were rich people and powerful people around Jesus. Joseph of Arimathea was He was rich and powerful. Nicodemus was also a man of sufficient knowledge and wealth. Job was the richest man in Cush in the East.
