JESUS AND COVETOUSNESS
Prov-
' LESSON TEXT Exodus 20:17
rbs 11:23. 24; Luke 12:13-21, MEMORY SELECTION He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch. Proverbs 11:23.
The Ten - Commandments, the ' study of which we conclude today (the remaining lessons of the quarter deal with other laws), have been revealed to us as being characterized by their brevity, their comprehensive touch with all of life, and fidelity to the right. But they are also unique and different from all other laws in that they reach into the inner recesses of a man's heart, a realm where only God can judge and act. This last commandment (against covetousness) emphasizes that point, for it does not expressly require or forbid any act, but deals with the motive of man's action. Man can judge another man's acts, but he cannot judge his motives, Sesires or thoughts. God must do that. But man can, by the grace of God, control his-motives; and hence we have this commandment aid its interpretation. ' I. Covetousness What It Is (Exod. 20:17). To covet does not mean just to desire, but to have an unrestrained desire for that which we ought not to have or which by right belongs to another. It shows itself in our day in a more general way an inordinate desire for possessions in general. There too man loses himself. It may be a surprise to many to learn that coveting, or desiring what belongs to another, is a sin. It has become one of the "respectable sins" accepted in the best circles and practiced by many church people. As a matter of fact, this sin underlies all the other sins against which the commandments speak. He who has a love for money and an evil desire to have his neighbor's possessions will hate, lie, steal, cheat, kill. In fact, as Dr. G. Campbell
.Morgan says, "The whole realm of
human interrelations is disorgan-
ized and broken up by the dishonor
ing of the tenth commandment." " II. voveionsness What It Doet (Prov. 11:23, 24; Luke 12:13-21). . 1. It Makes a Man StinEy (Prov ,11:23, 24). The righteous man seeks that which is good and he knows nothing of the close-fisted stinginess which withholds from God and man. Sometimes to economize is to lose, and to be liberal is to gainespecially in the things of God. God gives liberally (James 1:5), and the man who knows God scatters not only his money, but his riches of mind and service for God's glory. In sad contrast is the man who keeps his possessions for himself and reaps only the barrenness of soul and leanness of life. 2. It Makes a Man Envious (Luke 12:13-15). Noting the ability of Jesus in dealing with others, this man thought to divert the Lord from his real ministry to the souls of men to the settling of social problemsall because he was greedy. ' Some church leaders think that is our business now to preach and promote a social gospel. They had better reread verso 14. 3.. It Makes a Man Selfish (Luke 42:16, 17). The one who was known tfo his friends as the' "rich man" (v. 16) was known- to God as a "fool" (v. 20), because having more . than he could use he hoarded it for himself. One wonders what he had 1 to say for himself when that very night he was called into the presence of God to give an account of his stewardship (v. 20). If you are similarly situated and have the same attitude, what will you say in that day? ! 4. It Makes a Man Proud (Luke 12:18). Al around him were the hungry. He nteded no barns, for there were the empty hands of the needy; but money had made him hard and proud. He would build bigger barns, perhaps the biggest in that community. People would marvel at his prosperity and he would live long to enjoy it. But it did not work out that way, for, alas, it is true of covetousness that 5. It Makes a Man Foolish vLuke 12:19-21). The man who reckons without God is sure to come to grief. Leaving him out of one's thinking and planning invites disaster. God oalled, and he, who had , thought to go on for years in selfish pleasure, found that he must go and leave it all. Worse yet, he had to face the judgment of God upon his eternal soul. Do not fail to note that there; is a way to lay up treasures in heaven by a "close walk with Christ, coming to appreciate and cultivate the joys of the spirit," and so using
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day. Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary" (Psalms 96: 2, 6). "Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us" (Psalms 90: 1, 16, 17). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Comeliness and grace are independent of matter. Being possesses its

. ' How. do you know the Sun is shining when the world is steeped in shadow? How can you believe that day is at hand when night seems all around? The fringe of gold on the darkest clouds, the rays of light streaming over the distant horizon, the. shimmering path of silver acrossrthe shadowy waters . . . these are the evidence of what we cannot see ... the promise of dawning day. Well did the Biblical writer describe faifh as "the evidence of things not seen." For in man's darkest hour faith is his assurance, that God is near . .
that God cares.
Religious faith is no panacea to 'drive away dark clouds. The somber clouds as well as the blue skies belong to life. But faith is man's pathway of promise,
.beckoning across the dark waters to the bright horizon.
We all need that pathway of promise. Adults need it to meet and overcome the many disturbances of life. Children need it to grow into courageous, moral men and women. ' . The Church continually teaches faith" in God. And regular Worship deepens Iaith.: Attend the church of your choice ... attend it reaularlv.
