This is an OLD joke and a pretty bad one too as we all know we can't take anything with us when we die, but I think it brings out some pretty good points dispite the fact it is corney and oh so innaccurate. Like how it seems no matter what we humans still want more than we are allowed. Like as the business man in this joke we want to take something with us when we leave earth or we put value in earthly things that have no eternal value such as (for this business man in the joke) gold or money, popularity, clothes, looks, etc... What we all need to concentrate on, instead of these things, is God and His Word because He will let us know through the Word exactly what we need to worry about and what should be important to us.
I kinda struck me as being funny that in this joke that the business man put so much effort into taking that gold with him when he died and to find that there was better and a whole lot more in heaven. I mean isn't that like us? We put so much effort into unimportant things like money and such that we never really concentrate on the things that will last for all eternity (i.e. salvation, careing for others, seeing a need somewhere and helping out, etc...)
I hope that I will come to be more Godly and eternally minded instead of concentrating on the temporary.... what about you?
