This parable is like Jesus saying this world will tell you that you are only valuable when you can consume and when you have money. Woe unto you if you lose your job, or if life does you wrong, or if your retirement accounts lose their value. But wait. That is not the message of the Reign of God. In the Kingdom you are of infinite value because you are created by love for love and you will be judged not on how much you consume but on how you treat the weakest among you.
