Lenten Meditation (Rev. Lyle F. Htelner. Deeatnr Missionary Church* “THE POOR RICH MAN’’ "And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.”—Luks 18:23. In the preceding verses we have a picture of a certain ruler coming unto Jesus, saying, "Good Master, what shall I do to Inherit eternal life?" I believe he was seeking to gain eternal life by his own good works, for In the parallel a< count In M< 19:16 we have this phrase, ’'wifltt good thing shall I do." Notice how ihe big "I" I* recorded two times In verses sixteen and twenty. Keeping the law, self righteousness, morality, and riches can never gain eternal life. Only a faith In the substitutionary death of God's only begotten Son can provide eternal life. Substitution Is—one life given In the steal of another. "The l»rd hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." God made Christ, who knew no sin. to be sin for us. Christ Himself bore our sins in His own Ixxly on the tree—this is substitution. Christ died in our place. i,ore our sins, paid the penalty due our sins; and all this, not by force, but willingly. <Jn 18:17.18.1 The poor rich man was very rich for he had great possessions. He was very sorrowful because he was not willing to sell out or pay the complete price. We are to surrender our all to Him. ourselves Included. The “love" of money 1s the root of all evil, It Isn't "money." Money is not to be an Idol, but our pocket hooks are to Im- given over to Him. Jesus said. "So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." Lk. 12:21. All who live only for the things of time, whether they be rich or poor, unless they know Jesus as their personal Saviour, and are washed from their sins through His blood, will be paupers at the bar of God. regardless how moral or religious they may be Jesus said. "No man cometh unto the Father, but by me." Jn. 11:6 Without Christ we are helpless, hopeless and eternally lost. Accept Him now and be saved, tomorrow may be too late!
