Chasing Gold
Aesop has given us many memorable fables over the years: the boy who cried wolf, the tortoise and the hare, the lion and the mouse. These have been given to us that we might, as little children, learn good morals. One of these, the goose that laid the golden egg, reminds us to flee from greed. But, as fables, we also learn well that anything that seems to good can’t last, or even be true. Today, Jesus challenges that assumption.
