Who are the fools of this world? "Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: "The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully." (Luke 12:16 NKJV) ""And he thought within himself, saying, 'What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?'" (Luke 12:17 NKJV) ""So he said, 'I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods." (Luke 12:18 NKJV) "'And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry."'" (Luke 12:19 NKJV) ""But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?'" (Luke 12:20 NKJV) ""So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."" (Luke 12:21 NKJV) The fools are obviously those who put their hope in the things of this world to the neglect of God. David

What was Paul looking forward to? "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory," (2 Cor 4:17 NKJV) "while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal." (2 Cor 4:18 NKJV) I am reminded of a story I heard recently, it goes like this, "There was a young lady who adored her husband. He, unfortunately had to go into the army during WW11, but he left with her a very large picture of himself before being shipped over seas. She would lovingly show this to people and say, "Isn't he handsome?" This became a compelling practice with her as she loved and missed him very much. One day she received notice that he was coming home, and would arrive in California. She packed and headed that way but she did not take the picture. Happy to say, their reunion was a joyful one. What's the point? Simply this, when you have the original, you don't need the copy. 2 Cor 4:18, Col 2:16,17, Heb 8:1-6, Heb 10:1
