By R.H. RAMSEY In essence, the commandment covetousness:.,is a higpmary of all the other com- ‘ Cones governing our rela- ips with our. fellows.. ~ Covetousness is not the dis- - joritent of watching. our: “old -Wack-and-white TV after view- ne the neighbor's new color nor is it the twinge of invy of another's wealth. fame Ww success. Covetousness is such tatural emotion carried to un- healthy, lengths. It is: the im- broper desire to have that which belongs to another or to which ve-have noright —- Covetousness lies at the root all the sins harmful to men’s jouls. Evil thoughts lead to evil s, and covetousness all too uently leads to killing, adul- , Stealing and lying. Thus; “ment can prohibit men* from keeping the rest of God's law, for we cannot keep it fully if we are -covetous. —~ | |’ Asidé from, “the certainty of 'the life to come, Jesus spoke \more extensively about the in- herent. danger of concern — for possessions than of any other jaspect of life. High regard for the. acquist- ition of earthly goods can make jus incapable of meeting the con- jditions necessary for life. Like the rich young ruler \(Mark 10:17-22), we sometimes become unwilling to give upour material wealth and. follow Christ. He wanted God — as do we—but: not at the cost of his gold, He wanted eternal : life— as.do we— but not at the cost of his earthly luxury. “Things” cannot make ‘a man rich: before God, for, as Jesus often insisted, a_ righteous ‘life lis the only _thing that. counts iwith God, Indeed, what the world terms ‘‘success’ can be spiritually costly, for # may be failure in God's sight. . The covetous man who asked Jesus to bid his brother divide (fool, jtraits.to this man. He was ‘honest, worked diligently, eternal. 12:18-21, 28-34. | By Allred J.

It also af- forded Him -an opportunity to warn’ of the.. consequences of covetousness through the para- ble of the rich man who built new barns. ‘ Though he fs later. proved a there -were commendable and made his fields produce abun- dantly. Like all good farmers, he stored his crops carefully so. they would not rot. When his igranaties bec ame insufficient for such abundance, he built new ones, so, his industry would not be wasted and his future even more. secure. : When he knew he—had more than enough to sustain him’ the rest of his life, he adopted the Epricurean philosophy of taking his ease,. eating, drinking and being merry. But he had not-included God in his reckoning. He died syd- denly, and his life, his labor, his hoarding came -to naught. His sin was selfishness. He did not share his abundance with oth- ers— though there must have barns impoverished himself spiritual- ly. He died with no “treasures laid up h amassing worldly Search h man who built new should ke 12:13-21. s Lake 12: 29-34. are of covetousness: for a mai’s life consisteth not in the abundance for the kingdom of God ‘takes ‘¢ precedence over earthly goods.

The covetous possession of things violates the tenth -com- mandment, True wealth is not what we accumulate, but our, attitude toward our own posses- sions and those of others. The parable does not condemn diligence, industry, thrift and foresight. Rather . it condemns obsession with ‘things’’ and t heir accumulation. Christians ‘should be careful. of the~neces- sities of life, but not concerned or anxious over them. The Fath- er who gave us<life' knows our needs and will provide for us as He does for all of nature — even though what He provices is honest toil. Jesus urges us to seek -‘the kingdomrzof God and all these things shall be. added.” This quest for ‘the kingdom. should come first, - taking precedence over ‘things.
