Luke 12:13-21 & Colossians 3:1-11

In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus tells the parable of the rich fool, who decides to tear down his barns in order to build bigger ones to store the abundance of his crops.  However, Christ warns about storing up and focusing on earthly treasures for ourselves, that we may not ever get to enjoy.  Paul in Colossians also calls us to put to death those earthly temptations, like greed, covetousness, and instead focus on the things above, setting our minds on the true treasure, Jesus Christ.
