15 Then He said to them, "Keep alert and guard against covetousness, because one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."Christians who live in materialistic societies tend to forget this important truth.
Parable of a rich fool
16 Then He told them a parable, saying: "The ground of a certain rich man produced well. 17 And he reasoned within himself saying, ‘What shall I do, because I have no place to store my crops?’ 18 Then he said: ‘This is what I will do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my produce and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul: Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and enjoy yourself!’ 20 But God said to him: ‘Stupid! This very night your life is being taken back from you;‘Taken back’—we have our life on loan, like a trust, and an accounting will be required. then who will get the things you have prepared?’ 21 Just like that"Just like that" = "Stupid!" To be rich toward God is to invest in His Kingdom. is he who accumulates treasure for himself and is not rich toward God."
