Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

The rich man in the parable Jesus told today was exactly right. The rich man's desire to relax, eat, drink, and be merry is spot on. That's exactly what God wants for you. Now. As His baptized children, you can relax now in your Father's love and care for you. You can eat and drink here and now at His Table. And you can be merry now because you have an inheritance in heaven that your brother, Jesus, provided for you with His death and resurrection. An inheritance that doesn't end or go away when you die, but one that will never be taken from you.
