But Jesus continues the story. This very night your life is being demanded of you. Don't miss the point here. God is not punishing this man for wanting to be a successful farmer. God is not fickle or capricious, and death is not a punishment.
Death just happens.
It doesn't matter how rich you are or how poor you are. It doesn't matter how many successes you can list or how many failures you have to list, death still comes one to a customer. This fellow just happened to discover that he had an appointment with the Grim Reaper on the very day he finally arrived. The problem is not that he has been greedy. The problem is that he just hasn't enjoyed his life.
