Still At The Gate

Editor's Notes

  1. The Wall Street Journal quoted an anonymous wit who defined money as “an article which may be used as a universal passport to everywhere except heaven, and as a universal provider for everything except happiness.” The writer might have added that money is also a provoker of covetousness and competition, a wonderful servant but a terrible master. The love of money is still “a root of all kinds of evil” (1 Tim. 6:10, NKJV) and has helped fill our world with corruption and lust (1 Peter 1:4). When you read our Lord’s sermons and parables, you are struck with the fact that He had a great deal to say about material wealth. He ministered to people who, for the most part, were poor and who thought that acquiring more wealth was the solution to all their problems. Jesus was not blind to the needs of the poor, and by His example and teaching, He encouraged His followers to share what they had with others. The early church was a fellowship of people who willingly shared their possessions with the less fortunate (Acts 2:44–47; 4:33–37). Neither of the two accounts in this chapter is called a parable either by Jesus or by Luke, so some say that it is likely that our Lord was describing actual happenings. However, whether they are actual events or only parables, the spiritual values are the same.
