How do you understand these words of Jesus Christ?

“Even when a person has an abundance, his life does not result from the things he possesses.” (Luke 12:15)

Does it mean that money doesn't protect us against the death?

It could means this: it does not mater if you have or not have money in your life, there are higher things in our life than money.

“Even when a person has an abundance, his life does not result from the things he possesses.” (Luke 12:15)

Does it mean that money doesn't protect us against the death?

Even if a person has a lot of money, his life is not changed from the things he possesses.

Something like that. So no matter how much money you have, or no matter how many cool things you have, that won't change your lifestyle or change your relationship with Jesus Christ.

“Even when a person has an abundance, his life does not result from the things he possesses.” (Luke 12:15)

Does it mean that money doesn't protect us against the death?

Yes, that's right.Because our lives were not mainly based on material things. No matter how rich or poor we are, everybody is subject to die. Though, rich people can go to any prestige hospital when they got sick, yet doctors have nothing to do if that's the his time to die.

In life, we need to remember that we are also spiritual being, hence we don't need to spend all our time doing all the material things. We need to provide or feed ourselves spiritually. It is true that we need to work to live but there is still life after death and that's the most important.

“Even when a person has an abundance, his life does not result from the things he possesses.” (Luke 12:15)

Does it mean that money doesn't protect us against the death?

Yes, money cannot buy life. Even the richest people in the world cannot prevent himself from dying. Money is just a vain for that situation.You cannot bring your possessions right after your death.

 

[dtworker]

If you are rich that deos not mean you are happy, being has nothing to do with money. If it would be so, than how you can explain that someone who lives in desert, has only a piece of cotton on his body and eats only what he finds - is happier then a milioner?

Even nthough a person my accumulate huge wealth, when he dies, he must leave everything behind and depart. When he falls sick he has to lose everything.

You may not believe it's the son of God (it's your right), but you cannot ignore he existed. There are enough historical evidences of his existence (archeology, parchment, papyrus...) and he attended the famous people (the governor of Judea, Caesar ...) who mention him in their writings.
