The parable of the rich fool
When someone asked Jesus to settle an inheritance dispute, He warned against greed and told of a rich man who stored up abundant crops but died before enjoying them. Jesus said this is how it is for one who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God (Luke 12:13-21).

📖 Luke 12:13–15
13Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” 14But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?” 15And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
