Short-Sighted Christian

________________________________________________

Jesus told of a man whose attitude to life was short-sighted. He said to himself, "Self, you have enough stored away for years. Take life easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!" But God said to him, "You fool!" because that very night the unwary man was going to die. The life to come was not the many years he thought he had in this world, but an eternity in another world he had not even considered (Luke 12:16-40).
