NOCTH CAROLINA DECEMBER 9, 1938 J!5 1 I' if - i r ' J St .f ;-.'9t; A' J SUM, SCHOOL LESSQil THE SIN OF COVETOUSNESa International Sunday School Lesson for December 11, 1938 Golden: Text: "covet," Exodus "Thou shalt not 20:17. Lesson Text: Exodus 20:17; Luke 12:13-21; I Timothy 6:7-10 The Tenth, and last Commandment for our consideration in this series of lessons is, -Thou shalt not covet." This is a law against the sin which is probably the base of all sins, because ... .1 f A .J I out or spring iymg, aeceu, niwi t - v everybody else has. EV Place even idolatry. .legitimate desire for wealth and .the I illegitimate desire: which culminates in covetousness, when he declared, "The desire - for wealth is good as long as we have some use for the riches we acquire; it deteriorates into mere covetousness 1 as - soon ; as. we crave to possess it for ..the. sake of possessing it and apart from any use to which we propose, to put it." - Covetousness deprives us of a most wonderful possession contentment The more we feed it, the more it de mands. There probably never wa time in the history of the worw wnen people and nations were so anxious to Just what is covetous? According to the dictionaryrit is the inordinate desire to possess, especially money. Its essential s meaning is "to set the heart on" or very literally, "to pant after." The sin of covetousness is the greedy desire to possess some thing which belongs to another which bo often ends1 in violent acts against anotfter oppression, cheating and even murder in order to gain pos session of the thing coveted. This sin has been evident since the beginning of time. Eye, seeing the forbidden fruit hanging on the tree in the midst of the Garden of Eden, I ... - . i i a 1 where we could be satisfied with what we have and take time to be thankful for and enjoy that, we would be a contented, restful people in S more peaceful world. Covetousness is the cause of the upset conditions, of the world today. The greedy desire of, nations to pos sess that which lawfully ant right fully belongs to another is the cause of much of the unrest which afflicts many of the nations of . the world. The terrible oppression of the Jews in Germany has as its basic cause the covetousness of the governmental au thorities' for the material possessions accumulated by this race of people - n: i jm:.ki .ni 'there. Apoarently jealous oi tneir in order to possess it, disobeyed. the, ability and resourcefulness ui acquir . , .j n.L -.Za tu iinr wealth, the decision to dispossess fvnr of fiod that his brother Abel re- them, with consequent oppression and ceived. His covetousness generated insane jeolousy which resulted in the murder of his brother. Achan desir ed the beautiful Babylonian garment persecution, inevitable followed Quick to condemn such flagrant o.tn nf rnvetousnesB on the part of others, let us not, .forget tnat uiey .rl the inirot of srold so much that ' themselves refrain from covetousness, he was willing to barter his honesty , national acts will reflect their person and his country's honor in order to al attitudes. . obtain them. David coveted Uriah's : The Bible does not condemn thrift wife and. in order to possess her, had nr the acauirinsr of wealth. Jesus Uriah murdered. Ahab desired pos- never did so. However, he gave session of the thriving vineyard of Naboth and his covetousness brought upon him the condemnation and wrath of God and a death like that of a dog. Instance after instance of covetous ness and its dire results is recorded in the Bible. This should serve as a warning to us, but, it doesn't. Even in this fair land of ours, covetousness is a prevailing sin. The greedy de sire to get, merely for the pleasure of getting often times, leads many to oppression, deception and even to murder. , Ruskin differentiated between the warning after warning against the putting of the accumulation of ma terial possessions before the acquiring or laying up of spiritual possessions. In our Scripture reference for this lesson, he warned, against covetous ness, declaring, "For a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth." If we will remember to seek "first the King dom of God and His righteousness," all things material which are neces sary to our well-being will be given us by the God whom we love and whom we endeavor to serve."
