An Ecclesiastical Outlook
As Jesus is sharing the parable of the Rich Fool in Luke 12, he gives the fool voice with this saying, "eat, drink and be merry.”‘ This same sentiment is found elsewhere in the Scriptures, notably in the book of Ecclesiastes, where the teaching and the teacher give foundation to Jesus' story, revealing the lack of wisdom in this foolish rich man. Want to hear the parable with new ears and give it an ecclesiastical outlook? As Terry shares this teaching — primarily from correlating texts in Ecclesiastes — the wisdom of Jesus parable is insightful.
Series Information
Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
