WPIC R|nc< 00 October 8 we had a teaaon OR the birth and childhood of Jesus* W*MMT wRl doubtless prefer to have this new lesson Instead of the Christ- mas Ifuson, f. A Warning AMlnst Covatousnss* ( tv . 1S-21). , 1. The Occasion ( tv , 18-15), one of the company requested Jesu* to be ■umpire lu a. disputed estate- Two brothers were in ftovible over an in- berttance. Christ’ refused to enter the Sphere of, the clvir law and warned •gainst the spirit of avarice, Christ’s mission was preeminently spiritual. ' 2. Enforcement of the Warning (w . 16-21), The parable of the rich man ahowa clearly that to he-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 forgets ting God, Note (1) his Increase in goods (v, 16). Hi* riches ware rightly obtained, for the ground brought forth plentifully. This shows that a man .may be rich because of the Lord’s blesslfagupon-him. (2) Bis perplexity . (v. IT), Hls land was producing more than his barns would hold. He did not .want it to go to waste, if he had ‘pos­ sessed the right views o f life and a sense of stewardship before God, he would have seen that hls barns at least had enough for hls personal needs and that ,be could have distributed hls sur­ plus to the needy and for benevolent purposes. (8) The fatal choice (w. 18, 18). He .chose to enlarge’ hls parns and give tip hls life to' ease and -luxury. It ought to.be a delightful .task for men whom God has made rich to devote their time and energy to the distribution of their possessions to benevolent purposes. (4) .The aw­ ful indictment (w . 20, 21). God calls him a fool. II, The Certain Cure for Anxiety (w . 82-84). Having shown the folly of the rich |nanwim^galnedgiold but lost God, He paw urged the disciples to trust God And dismiss all anxious care. He as- aimed them that they need not be anx- : even to# to* necessities of Ufa « 1. The Argument- (w . 22 , 28 ). This hi summed up in one brief .sentence: "The life Is more than food* and the body is more than raiment" The God who gave the life and made the.body should be trusted to provide food and clothing. • - 2. The IUustratlens (w . 24-28). (1) God’s care for the fowl* (w . 24-26). jThe ravens do not sow nor reap—they have not storehouse or barn, yet they live, for God feeds them. If God does ’not forget the fowls, certainly He would do more for Hls children, (2) -God’s care for the flower* of the field (w . 27, 28), If God is so careful of those flowers which appear but for a day, -how much mere will. He clothe Hls children I I 3. TheExhortations (yr. 29-84). (I) (Make not (the getting of food and clothes your chief concern. Trust God .to provide them, (2) geek the king­ dom of God (v. 81). Those who make God’s kingdom first shall have all their needs supplied (Phil. 4 :19). (8) Be not afraid (v. 32). God’s good pleas­ ure Is upon Hls own, and all good things will HR give them. (4) Prac­ tice self-denial la order to be able to give gifts to those In need (w . 83, 84). The doing of such deeds will tend to lift the thoughts upward to God—to trust Him, III, Be Ready for ths Coming ef the Lord fw* 85-40), Having Warned the disciples against the acquisition o f Worldly goods while forgetting God, and shown them the beedlessnes* of anxiety for food and clothes, He shows them the blessed- neis of being in a state of readiness When the Lord shall come. Convic­ tion as to the certainty of the Lord's coming is the sure cure for worldlinees ind anxious care. This attitude of heart Hemade Clear by two parables— that of the returning Of the Lord and that Of the thief. The Lord will be so pleased with those who are Waiting fox1Him that He Wili take delight la sitting at the banquet with them, and even serve them. The parable of the thief show* that the time of the Lord's coming la not known, - Paul's Wish, l I count alt things but loss for the excellency of ths knowledge o f Christ Jeaus my Lord; If by any means t 'might attain unto the resurraction 0 1 fhe dead,*“ Phillppians 8:8-11. - * * Be Many Raven#, The Lord never had ao many rat- mas as he has this morning.—T, He* WHi TalmagC. .||V ■- ,.1^^.
