Luke 12:13-21: Jesus’ parable of the rich man critiques the human obsession with “more” on wealth, power, possessions, and even education. This hunger stems from a deeper spiritual and emotional deprivation rooted in humanity’s fall, leaving us restless and unsatisfied. Jesus warns not against abundance itself, but against attachment and self-centred use of it. True discipleship is found not in accumulation, but in using what God has given, which is daily manna, to support others and glorify Him. A meaningful life emerges when we receive, share, and trust God’s provision, rather than secure ourselves through excess. In this, we reclaim what was lost in Eden.
