But pretty soon, before you know it, you're possessed by your possessions. Jesus told a story about a person who could be any one of us. A guy who works hard, every day, just trying to make ends meet. That's the way we feel about ourselves. Nobody here feels greedy.
Nobody here feels rich, or covetous.
We're all just trying to get by. And then, one day, this guy in the story hits the jackpot. That probably took a certain amount of hard work. It took a certain amount of good management, and sweat. And a whole lot of luck.
