In this episode, we reflect on a powerful moment when a man asks Jesus to divide an inheritance, revealing how easily worldly desires can overshadow eternal truths. The message warns against covetousness and idolatry—when we chase things that ultimately leave us spiritually empty, like drinking salt water that only increases thirst. Jesus invites us instead to seek heavenly treasures—His forgiveness, life, and glory—freely given to us as His inheritance. The call is to live not for self, but for others: forgiving, loving, serving, and sharing the riches of Christ. Because in the end, those who live in Him die truly rich.
