RICH RULER REPROVED

Zacchaeus Hoped For New life

Today's lesson involves two men seeking Jesus’ counsel in order to arrive at decisions. At- ter the interview, one makes thej right decision, the other the' wrong one. l

The interview of the rich, young ruler with Jesus (Mark 1: 17-22) is a comparatively well- known episode. recorded a'so in Matthew 1921-30 and Luke 18:18-30. The young man involved apparently had every- thing anyone could possibly want: yout.h. wealth. position, and kept himself free of , th e great vices such young men are prone to. Yet. he felt something lacking, something all his assets and purity could not bring him. That “something" was eternal life. He longed for it and was

convinced it could be had by do- ing something about it. knowing exactly what to do, he asks Jesus.

Jesus reproves him for calling himself “good." reminding hirn that no one, except God. is truly “good." Then He cites those commandments which provide the simplest guides for a “good" life. In his assured reply that he has always obeyed these com- mandments. the rich young rul- er sounds relieved. for if etern- al life can be secured this easily. it is already his (vv. 17-20.)

2 3

Jcsus, seeing through t he young man's apparent goodness, tells him he still is lacking in one thing. He is hampered by his earthly riches and possess- ions. If he were to sell these pos- sessions and give to the poor, he should acquire treasure in heav- en. Then Jesus lays an addition- al requirement before the young man: that he should come. take up the cross, and follow him (vv.

Now. Jesus is not telling all who follow Him to sell their pos- sessions. Rather. he is putting His finger on the one thing this man ldolizes in his secret heart, the one thing he feels he cannot do without-—-his wealth. Neither does He mean that simply by selling what he has and giving to the poor. every man would automatically acquire treasure in heaven, for a man could do

A In perilous times a great nation always ﬁnds its might in spiritual resources. And today, signiﬁcantly, one of the ‘ * essential elements of survival in which our stockpile dwarfs the Russians is FAITH. Khrushchev has no secret instal- " lotion to match the thrust and force generated in the souls of our people by our hundreds of thousands of churches.

Rockets have a certain thrust — and no more. Nuclear bombs have a certain explosive force — and no more. Every powerful device on which man depends for military defense or scientiﬁc advance is limited in its energy.

But FAITH has no limits. It turns with trusting eyes sting. It is constantly conﬁdent and courageous —

this in all sincerity and still never see heaven. Eternal cannot be gained through giving up anything, or everything, on earth. It is a gift of God through Jesus Christ. and th e man who does not have Christ in his heart cannot gain eternal life (W 22-31)

What the young man came to Christ for, he received. He was told how eternal life could be obtained, but apparently he for- feited it for his love of earthly wealth and luxury. Zacchaeus. also. was possessed of wealth,

VANCOUVER (CP)—Handel's Messiah was not meant to be churches. says Karel ten Hoope. conductor of Vancouver's Bach C _ir.

He contends research has con- firmed his view that the Mrs- siah w itten as a secular piece for public entertainment.

Italian operatic style on Haz-

appreciated.

He concedes the music's in- spirational quality and the re- ligious message of its scriptural texts but says there is good au- thority for the belief that Han- del considered himself a dra- matic rather than religious composer. writing for the masses rather than the church.

In verses 9 and 10. the savour clearly teaches that while Zac- chaeus had indeed been a guilty and sinful man, lost in actual fact. salvation through his com- plete conversion had come to him and his whole house and that he had regained his status as a true son of Abraham throu- gh his faith in Jesus.

Dr. Iiowse asked: “How long before what is moral in their (the nuns’) situation becomes in other situations iior other women who, for tegitl- mate reasons, do not want chil- dren?"

In other worxis, it could be understood that nuns can safely use contraceptives to prevent the possible outcome of rape. Father Sheridan added that he understood the Jesuits‘ findings to justify contraception for vio- lated women other than nuns.
