We never know when our number is up (The rich fool, Luke 12:13-21)
Too many times in our lives we have had to deal with the unexpected loss of someone whom we thought left this world way too early. There is a statistic that seem to never let us down as it is correct one hundred percent of the time all the time, 10 out of 10 people are going to die. No one escapes this statistic; we all leave this earth via the grave but sadly some leave earlier than others and no one knows when it will be their time to go. In our parable, the man lived his life building up a retirement fund so that he could enjoy the rest of his life but if he knew the hour and day of his death would he have lived his life differently? Would he have placed more emphasis on different areas of his life he known when his life would end? Would he have worked less towards filling his barns and more towards his relationship with God if he had known when his end was near? I think we can all say that if we had insight to when we would leave this life and step into eternity, we would live our lives a little different than we do now. Most of us live our lives as if we are going to live forever instead of living our lives as if we can leave this world at any time. We live our lives as if we are certain that tomorrow will come and that we will be there to enjoy the plans that we have made for it, but the truth is, none of us know.
Hebrews 9:27 tells us that it is appointed once for a man to die and then we must face the judgment of God. We do not want to stand before God on the day of judgment and find out that our spiritual bank account is empty, but our earthly bank account is overflowing with wealth. We should all be seeking to lay up our treasures in heaven where they don’t rust, corrode, or waste away and the only way to do this is by placing Jesus Christ first in our lives. This means our agenda takes a back seat to the agenda of God and His Kingdom purpose for our life, we lay down our pride and serve the one who gave up everything for us to have eternal life. Jesus refers to the man in the parable as a fool because he spent his time and effort working towards something that was temporary while ignore the things that were eternal. When we stand before God on judgment day, He is not going to be impressed by how much money in in our 401k or bank account, how big our house is, or even our job title or social status. He is going to be impressed by those who lived their lives as good and faithful servants (Matthew 25:21), those who have been good stewards of what He placed in their hands. God does not value the things we value; He values a sincere repentant heart that is set on loving and serving others just like His, Jesus.
