The Parable of the Rich Fool: Ninth Sunday of Luke




Musings from the High Desert show

Summary: The passage for this Sunday needs to be viewed in the context of the question put to Jesus just prior to the parable of the "rich fool," as it is called. We need to pay attention to two words in this text: "soul" and "fool." These are the leading words for our lesson. (Luke 12:16-21)
