Guilty of atheism, hedonism and materialism, the rich farmer of Luke chapter 10 becomes a salutary warning for all who cut God out of their reckoning, seek satisfaction in the material world alone and fail to reckon that it is appointed to man one day to die and after this the reckoning. Declared a fool by God the rich farmer failed to carefully number his days to apply his heart to wisdom and in so doing he missed not only joy and satisfaction but the eternal life that is there in Christ, a treasure beyond all else.
