Don't miss grace

Samuel Acevedo
(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The passage discusses a man who interrupts Jesus' message to ask for help in a dispute with his brother over an inheritance. Jesus responds by warning against greed and shares the parable of the rich fool. The man is so focused on his dispute that he is about to miss the opportunity to obtain the true most precious treasure in the entire universe. God will judge souls before Him and the measure that He will use is between the fool and the wise. A fool is someone who rejects the knowledge of God and His precepts as the basis of life, and as a result, have become corrupted and do abominable works. The danger is not that you don't achieve a level of success, it's that by achieving it, you will ask for more and never be satisfied. The passage encourages people to dream, equip themselves, study, educate themselves, and achieve what God intended for them to achieve when he created them.

The speaker warns against the vicious circle of never being satisfied with success and always wanting more. He emphasizes that true fulfillment and a heroic life can only be achieved through Jesus and following His principles. The speaker shares a personal story of a divine intervention in his life and encourages listeners to recognize their own opportunities for grace, which could come in dramatic or humble ways. He ends by reminding listeners that life is fragile and unpredictable, but embracing grace and following Jesus can ensure a successful life.


In the Name of Jesus the Word declares: "One of the crowd said to him: Master, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me, but He, Jesus said to him: man, who has made me judge or divider over you? And he said to them: watch out and beware of all greed because the life of man does not consist in the abundance of the goods that he possesses."

"He also told him a parable saying: the inheritance of a rich man had produced a lot and he thought within himself saying: what shall I do? because I have nowhere to store my fruits." What a good problem right? many of us would love to have that same conflict. What will I do because I have nowhere to store my fruits? "And he said: this I will do. I will tear down my barns and build them greater, and there I will store all my fruits and my goods and I will say to my soul: soul, many goods you have stored for many years, rest, eat, drink, rejoice. But God He said to him "what did God say to him? oops, but God told him: "fool, tonight they come to ask you for your soul and what you have provided, whose will it be?."
