You cannot bring earthly things to heaven

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 12:13-21

Someone in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me."He replied to him, "Friend, who appointed me as your judge and arbitrator?"Then he said to the crowd, "Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one's life does not consist of possessions."Then he told them a parable. "There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful harvest.He asked himself, 'What shall I do, for I do not have space to store my harvest?'And he said, 'This is what I shall do: I shall tear down my barns and build larger ones. There I shall store all my grain and other goods and I shall say to myself, "Now as for you, you have so many good things stored up for many years, rest, eat, drink, be merry!"But God said to him, 'You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?'Thus will it be for the one who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich in what matters to God."

Reflection:

Human as we are. We intend to accumulate wealth for our needs. However, sometimes the accumulation of wealth is not only for our needs but to feed our greed. Jesus cited a parable which reminds us whatever wealth do we have now cannot be brought to heaven. We cannot bring them to our grave. So, instead of accumulation of wealth, we must share it to others. Share our blessings so that we can enter the kingdom of God.
