just been elected to tho american hall of fame wil- uamfcnn ran closely behind tho loaders introduction- the lesson raises the question of ths attitude of jesus to wealth did he regard wealth as a curse rather than a blessing did he think it wrong for a man to accumul ate wealth the answer to such ques tions ca- only be found by n careful reading of tho whole gospel narrative jesus own folk the family of nab- areth were not rich but apparently people of moderate means it would se also that his disciples were of the same class but when he entered upon his ministry he seems to have made no distinction between the rich and the poor he listens to the peti tion of the rich ruler and of the cen turion and helps them in their need a3 readily as to the poor and the outcast he sees clear tho temptations of wealth to selfish living but docs not anywhere condemn the possession of it he commends the servant who renders faithful service to his lord that man he declares is foolish who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward god if love of riches prevents a man from rendering the best service of which ho is capable to his fellow men then it becomes to him a curse it is not the having or not having of worldly goods that is in tho mind of jesus a matter of importance but the good that he can do in one nover-to-be-forgottc- sentence he makes his mind clear on this subject when he says a mans life consistcth n in the abundance of the things wiich he posscsscth luke 12 13 jesus would therefore have men put the pursuit of wealth in its proper place not first but second and sub ordinate to the real and infinitely pre cious things of the kingdom of god i refusing the call to service v3 1722 it wa3 according to luke 13 18- 30 a certain ruler who canio to jcsu3 with the question good mas ter what shall i do that i may inherit eternal life no doubt he was a man of somo intelligence well brought up and educated according to tho customs ideas and manners of his time the jews had a great inheritance in the history and literature of a thousand years and in tho high conceptions of justice- righteousness and clean hying which had come to them through the teaching of prophets and wise men of the past their laws wero based upon the ancient laws of moses they look ed for a golden age of justice and universal peace under the rule of a great king and saviour of davids line this king some of their teach ers held would be himself divine exalted to the very throne of god and only those would enter his kingdom who kept the laws of god and lived upright lives to have eternal life was to be fit and qualified for admis sion to that kingdom and therefore to triumph over death and all its terrors the question which the rich young ruler asked was of the highest import ance to him and it is evident that he was not entirely satisfied with the answers which he had previously re ceived from his teachers what jesus meant by hi3 answering question why callest thou me good is not clear matthew give3 it in a different form why asketh thou me concerning that which is good jesu3 may have seen in this form of address an effort of the questioner to pay him a compliment nd may hwe desired to turn hie thoughts from the opinions of teachers i owever good or great to tho demands of god and therefore he refers the questioner to the com mandments which all good jews be lieved to bo the laws of god the young mans answer is no doubt hon- est he has observed all these lawsj from his youth and yet is not satis fied ho asks what lack i vet matt 19 20 there is an interesting expansion f the words of jesus in an ancient writ ing the socalled gospel of the naz- arenes how sayest thou i have kept the law and the prophets how does it stand written in tho law thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self and see many of thy brethren aro covered with filth and dying of hunger while thy house is full of good things and nothing at all goe3 out from it to them there was cvidontly much good in this young man and jesus looking upon him loved him jesus must have seen that nothing but a life of service to his fellow men would satisfy that deep soul hunger which had prompted his question he called him to such a life his wealth given to feed the poor and he himself one of the dis ciples and followers of jesu3 but his countenance fell ai the saying and ho went away sorrowful ii the hardship of the rich vs 23 27 the possession of great wealth was more to this young ruler than tho call of god one is tempted to say the poor rich man wo often speak of tho hardships
