“Thus,
It is with those
Who store up treasures
For themselves,
But are not rich
Toward God.”
οὕτως ὁ θησαυρίζων αὑτῷ καὶ μὴ εἰς Θεὸν πλουτῶν
Luke uniquely brought this little parable of Jesus to an end. Jesus said this was the problem with those who store up treasures for themselves (οὕτως ὁ θησαυρίζων αὑτῷ), but are not rich towards God (καὶ μὴ εἰς Θεὸν πλουτῶν) in divine treasures. Thus, this parable of the rich foolish man comes to an end. He had stored up treasures here on earth, instead of heavenly treasures with God. He had misplaced priorities. His plans did not include death. Do you have misplaced priorities?
