TRUSTING IN RIQHE8 AND TRUST'
iNQ IN GOD,
DWWON TEXT-Luke 12:15-24.
GOLDEN TEXT?"Where your treasure
la. there will be your heart aiso."?Luke
The section before us has a very
logical progression from the Introductory
request to the* words of Jesus
which constitute the golden text.
Jesus is still In the mldBt of his
Perean ministry. This lesson occurred
but a few months before the
crucifixion.
1. The lesson w. 13-15. "One out
of the multitude" deBlred to bolBter
his claim to a portion of an Inheritance.
He was sure that his brother
needed admonition from Jesus, the
result of which would accrue to his
- advantage. Jcsub made a sharp, quick
reply. He had been teaching about
the sin of covetousness, but by his
answer be intimates that his mission
was not to judge men of that or amy
other sin. His work as a judge was
to come later, John 5:19-32. There
are thousands who for the prospect of
personal gain would strictly enforce
the ethical principles of the gospel
though at the same time they are not
willing themselves to abide thereunder.
Covetousness is a desire to
secure more and It is not confined
to the rich nor to the poor. Therefore
Jesus sounds a warning, "take
heed" (v. IF) e. g., beware. ThiB itch
lng is bo gradual and often begins
with a desire to possess things that
are good of themselves and frequently
good for him that has possession.
But aB it creeps In we find It becoming
a great sin. A desire to build up
a church, or even to compass the salvation
of a loved one, may be animated
by a selfish, covetous motive*,
see I Cor. 6:10, 11; 6:10, and Eph.
6:3, 5. A man's life consists not of
the things possessed and the desire
to get should be lost In the desire to
be for the glory of Qod.
Lighten Other's Burdens.
II. The Illustration, w. 16-21. This
warning of Jesus against Vrong sense
valuations and his suggestion as to
the true source of life, are emphasized
by hlb Illustration from life. All
material values oome from the earth.
Mine, foreBt and field are the sources
of all wealth. But in this Illustration
tJAe ground yielded "plentifully." He
iook great counsel with himself. In
<Chese three verses are twelve personal
J pronouns. Prosperity Is heaped upon
j ' prosperity, yet his enterprises were
lawful and legitimate for there Is no
suggestion of wrong methods. The
trouble was that In his self-centered
pride he saw only the gratification of
his material appetites. Any human
activity, even the highest, may become
grossly self-centered. His plana
of enlargement were wise in the sight

culatlons, and this is the common mistake
worldly men are making, Jaa.
4:13-16. His anxioty, a characteristic
of those who trust in riches, was
uncalled for, and the folly of that
course was revealed In a flash when
hb was called Into the presence of
God:. "The things which thou hast
prepared, whose shall they be?"
Jesus reveals the worthlessneBS of
such motives, the uselessness of Buch
anxiety, and Its unworthlness In view
of what God is in himself, vv. 20, 21.
He who can array the Illy and clothe
the grass of the fleid. The place to
lay up goods Is not In barns. Mark
10:21; the right way to be merry
is to lighten the burden of another,
and the way to satisfy the soul is
not to pamper the body. Read John
4:13, J4; John 7:37-39; I. Tim. 6:6;
Jas. 6:6; Rev. 18:7.
True Way of Life.
III. The application, w. 22-34.
Jesus then proceeds to set before his
disciples the true way of life from
the positive side, just as in the illustration
he had set before them the
negative side. Those who are living
in right relationships with Ood are
not to seek satisfaction in the things
of. time and sense, those thlnas of
which their father knows they have
need, and which he will supply, Phil.
4:19. They are, however, to seek
hit kingdom and to rest in confidence
in the knowledge that it Is his pleasure
to give to them that kingdom
(t. 82). The way to get is to give.
Prov. 11:24, 25. This Is laying up
treasure In heaven. Every man is the
judge of his own acts. If they be according
to divine standards, his decision
Is wise, if not, the Bible characterizes
that man as a fool. It Is
our sense of values which determines
our wisdom.
IV. The teaching. Jesus does not
begin' In his dealings with the sub
jects of his kingdom by making com'
pulsory division of their possessions.
?. Tn this lesson we can see the false
and the true method by which to
y -?*t<rt>lisE light social conditions.
This man's Idea was to "divide"; j
Christ's Idea is expressed In the
> words, "sell and give alms." The passion
of this man was to possess, the
passion of Christ was to give, Matt.
20:28. In the mind of Christ, life
does not consist of the things possessed,
John 6:27. Things have a
value only as life Is stronr.
