DAILY HOMILIES #goods

There is a saying, “When you have more than you need, build a longer table, not a higher fence.” The believers understood this saying and achieved a family united in one heart and soul. Don’t be afraid to share what you have; the more you give, the more it increases. This is how Jesus fed over five thousand people with just five loaves and two fish. If there are needy persons among us, we have failed collectively. Let us not forget that our true wealth lies in the love and care we show others, not material possessions. So, let us be generous, not just with our words, but with our actions.

Why did Jesus tell this parable to the man who had come to ask for Jesus’s intervention over an inheritance dispute? To assure him that even though he had been cheated, he could still live a very long and happy life. Meanwhile, his greedy brother is like the rich man whose lands yielded abundantly but refused to consider others in his enjoyment plan. If God calls this greedy brother tonight, what becomes of the inheritance he has gathered?
