Luke 12

Jesus warns against the leaven of hypocrisy and calls for fearless confession, promising the Spirit’s help. He tells the parable of the rich fool who stores up goods but is “not rich toward God,” and urges His disciples not to be anxious but to “seek his kingdom,” selling possessions and laying up treasure in heaven. He calls them to be dressed for service and watchful, like servants awaiting their master, and warns of coming division and the need to discern the time.
