Jesus tells this parable after a man in the crowd asks Jesus to speak to his brother --
Luke 12:13 Then one from the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."
Jesus answers by telling the parable of the rich fool. Through the parable Jesus is saying 'you can't take it with you'.
A key verse is Luke 12: 21b ............. and is not rich toward God."
It is better to be rich toward God than worldly rich.

What does the story of the parable of the ten virgins tell us about?
Jesus said that He spoke in parables to hide the meaning from the self-righteous but to make known the mystery of the kingdom to His own. There is something special about the Parable of the Ten Virgins that many might. He wanted to hide its meaning to those who thought they had a special relationship with God because of their being the children of Abraham but Jesus never taught about salvation belonging to a race but about salvation being about grace. Even so, "They answered him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing the works Abraham" (John 8:39) "And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham" (Matt 3:9). Making them even angrier Jesus said "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires" (John 8:44). Jesus always spoke the truth but they were blinded and again, that is part of the reason that Jesus spoke to them in parables like the Parable of the 10 Virgins, so here is a personal view of this parable that you may have a different opinion on and if so, please chime in on what you think this parable means.

Did Jesus tell the story of the good samaritan?
Jesus told the parable of "The good Samaritan". The Samaritans were hated by the Jews. However when a Jew had been robbed and beaten the only person that would stop to help was a Samaritan. His own people passed him by and did not want to get involved. Jesus was telling us that we should help others regardless of their background, race, religion or any other differences. We are all one people and we should help each other. Just as God loves us all we should love each other. We may not love what others are doing but we are to love them as a person. Help those in need, pray for those that need prayer. Thus Jesus Himself did not do anything directly in the story of the Good Samaritan, although He certainly lived by the principles He taught.
