Slnco on October 8 we had a lesson on the birth and childhood of Jesus, many will uoulitless prefer to have this nuw lesson Instead of the Christ mas lesson. I. A Warning Against Covetousness (vv. ia-21). 1. Thu Occasion (vv. 13-15). One of the company requested Jesus to bo :umplre In u disputed estate. Two brothers were In trouble over nn In heritance. Christ refused to enter the sphere of thu civil law and warned ugulnst thu spirit of avarice. Christ's mission was preeminently spiritual. 2. Enforcement of the Warning (vv. 10-21). The parable of thu rich man shows clearly that to be concerned with earthly riches while neglecting God Is the height of folly. The Lord's warning Is of great Importance today; for many are seeking gold and forget ting God. Note (1) his Incrensu In goods (v. 10). Ills riches were rightly obtained, for the ground brought forth plentifully. This shows that a man i may be rich because of the Lord's I blessing upon him. (2) Ills perplexity I (v. 17). His land was producing more j than his hums would hold. He did not want It to go to wnste. If he and pos ' sessed tho right views of life and a sense of stewardship before (Sod. he I would have seen that his barns at least I had enough for his personal nml.s and that he could have distributed his stir I plus to the needy and for benevolent purposes. (.'!) The fatal choice (vv. 18, 10). He chose to enlarge his . barns and give up his life to ease and I luxury. It ought to be a delightful ' 'task for men whom God huts made rich to devote their time and energy to the distribution of their possessions to benevolent purposes. (4) The aw ful Indictment (vv. 20, 21). God calls him n fool. II. The Certain Cure for Anxiety (vv. 32-34). Having shown the folly of the rich man who gained gold hut lost God, He now urged the disciples to trust God nnd dismiss all nnxlous care. He as sured them that they need not he anx ious even for the necessities of life. Note: 1. The Argument (vv. 22, 2.1). This Is summed up In one brief sentence: "The llf.e Is more than food, and tho body Is more than raiment." Tlie God who gnve the life and made the body should he trusted to provide food and clothing. ' a 2. The Illustrations (vv. 24-28). (1) God's cure for the fowls (vv. 24-20). The ravens do not sow nor reap they have not storehouse or ham, yet they live, for God feeds them. If God does not forget the fowls, certainly He , would do more for His children. (2) God's care for the flowers- of the field (vv. 27. 28). If God Is so careful of thosq flowers which appear hut for a day, how much more will He clothe Ills children I 3. The Exhortations (vv. 20-3-1). (1) Make not the getting of food nnd clothes your chief concern. Trust God to provide them. (2) Seek the king dom of God (v. 31). Those who make God's kingdom llrst shall have nil their needs supplied (Phil. 4:10). (3) Ho not nfruld (v. 32). God's good pleas ure Is upon Ills own, and all good things will He give them. (4) Prac tice solf-denlnl In order to be able to give gifts to those In need (vv. 33, 34). The doing of such deeds will lend to lift the thoughts upward to Ood to trust Him. III. Be Ready for the Coming of tho Lord (vv. 3.T-40). Having warned the disciples against the acquisition of worldly goods while forgetting God, and shown them the Heedlessness of anxiety for food and clothes, He shows them the blessed iicbs of being In a state of readiness when the Lord shnll come. Convic tion as to the certainty of the Lord's coining Is the sure cure for worhlllnesH nnd anxious enre. This nttltude of heart Ho made clear by two pnrablcs that of the returning of the Lord and that of the thief. The Lord will he so pleased with those who nre waiting for lllm that He will take delight in sitting nt the banquet with them, und even servo them. The paraDlo or the thief shows that the time of the Lord's coming Is not known. Paul's Wish. I count all things hut loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus mv Lord: If by any means I might attain unto. the resurrection of the deail.-MMilllpplnns 3:8-11. So Many Raveno. The Lord never had so many rav ens us he has this morning. T. De Witt Talmnge. God la Known Everywhere. In Judnh is God known; His nnino Is great In Israel. Psalm 70 :L 1 ,' i JL rr--
