LESSON TKXT—Luke 17: >l, to; 14: M-»; II 110 MEMORY SELECTION — Tiw kingdom of God li not miit and drink; but rightoouinin, and pVke* snd Joy in the Holy GhoM -Rornonl 14:17. Money, riches. possessions— that’s what men are living and striving for in our day. It li going to seem a bit it range, but it wiU bo very lalutary to stress once again the eternal truth, best summerlzed by our Lord Jesus when he laid, "A men's life conslsteth not in the abundance of We things which he poiieiieth” (Luke 11:11). I. Don't Depend on Kit lies (11:11, 20). The rich man increased in seldihness as he increaied in wealth He began to feel secure because he had laid up much goods Now be became proud and boastful. He thought he saw years of comfort and ease ahead Evidently he had not read, or did not believe, the words of Scripture, “Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou krioweit not what a day may bring forth” (Prov. 27:1; see also James 4:11IT). Well, can a man depend on riches’ The answer is no. They are here today and gone tomorrow Man himself is here today end gone tomorrow. When he goes, he leaves all that he has unless he has invested it for God Money Is like a broken reed The man who leans on it will not only fall, but w ill pierce himself through with many sorrows (I Tim 4:1, 10). Don't depend on riches—they will miserably fall you in your hour of need. 11. Beware of the Snare of Riches (14 24-27) “Die rich young ruler had come running to Jesus to seek eternal life, but had tunied away sorrowful when he found that a man cannot love money and love God at the same time. Jesus improved the opportunity to point out that it is impossible fore rich msn to be saved, except as the grace of God gets hold of him and sets him free from dependence on his wealth. Apart from the grace of God, it is so easy for a rich man or woman to trust in riches, and to feel no need of God Look again at I Timothy •;», 10 and you will see that even the desire to be rich leads a man into a temptation and a snare. The man of God is warned to "Bee these things; and follow after righteousness. godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness,” and thus to be able to "fight the good fight ut faith" (1 Tim. 4:11, 12). We repeat that all this has a strange sound to modern ears, so accustomed to the worldly philosophy of trust in things and In dollars. We need to warn our yotmg men and women about the awful danger of loving money There is something infinitely better Dian riches, and that is whgt we And in our next point. in. Seek True Riches la Christ (II: 34-30). Peter and the other disciples bad forsaken all the things of the world to follow Christ, and now as he reminds the Lord of that fact, he reselves the assurance that there is a higher level of riches and reward for the loyal disciple. God win never be in debt to anyone. There is no sacrifice made far his glory which does not find its glorious recompense, and no burden borne for his sake which does cat bring its rich reward. All this is not the result of some tad of a “deal” wsih God. We do not serve him because we expect a reward, but the assurance at the reward la there to encourage and spur 41 on Bi life and service for him The tact la, spiritual currency has far higher value than gold and silver cd this world SV. Ask Christ te DeHver You Fnen ■lobes (14:1-10). ZaecbaoM was a man well versed ta the devious ways of the extortioner. He knew money, and how to oaks IL Sut he was not s»iisfied. He knew there was semetbing more worth while than riches. His life was empty. He sought Jesus. One look from the Master and he knew that he anwet lay his sinful heart open began him in confession. Balvatiou came to Zacchaeua that day. Here, then. Is the way to be dolivsred from the snare of riches—fake Jesus Christ as your Baviour and Lord. He may then entrust riches to your care to use for him, but he will deliver you from a We tor gelt! end from, the felly ft putting your trust in it The person who lives for riehea Is lest (v. 10). caught to a snare a Tta. 4:4, H». trusting to somaStag that wffl fad Mrs whan meat traded (Luke 11:14. »), and trusttag saMteag whsca wui keep bias from God (Luke 14; SWf).
