Time Stamp	Transcript
0:29	the holy Gospel According to Saint Luke
0:31	chapter 12 verses 13 through 21. someone
0:35	in the crowd said to Jesus teacher tell
0:38	my brother to divide the inheritance
0:40	with me but he said to him man who made
0:44	me a judge or an arbitrator over you and
0:47	he said to them take care be on your
0:50	guard against all covetousness for one’s
0:53	life does not consist in the abundance
0:55	of his possessions and he told them a
0:58	parable saying the land of a rich man
1:00	produced plentifully and he thought to
1:03	himself well what shall I do for I have
1:05	nowhere to store my crops and he said I
1:08	will do this I will tear down my Barns
1:11	and build larger ones and there I will
1:13	store all my grain and my goods and I
1:16	will say to my soul soul you have ample
1:19	Goods laid up for many years relax eat
1:22	drink be merry but God said to him fool
1:25	this night your soul is required of you
1:28	and the things that you have prepared
1:30	whose will they be so is the one who
1:33	lays up treasure for him himself and is
1:36	not rich toward God
1:39	in the name of Jesus
1:42	all right interesting gospel text today
1:44	begins with these words someone the
1:46	crowd said to Jesus teacher tell my
1:48	brother to divide the inheritance with
1:51	me
1:51	but he said to him man who made me a
1:55	judge or an arbitrator over you
1:58	now we’ve all heard horror stories of
2:00	families that have literally been torn
2:03	apart by quarrels and fights over an
2:05	inheritance we’ve heard of those who
2:08	have been xed out of a will in the pain
2:10	that that creates and if you want to
2:13	find out what someone’s characters
2:14	really like look how they behave when a
2:17	large estate is at stake do they care
2:20	about their family and their
2:21	relationship with their own flesh and
2:22	blood or are they willing to throw those
2:25	relationships away in order to get what
2:28	they think they’re owed when an estate
2:29	is being parceled out there’s nothing
2:32	quite like being sued by one of your
2:34	siblings because they think they should
2:36	have received more than they were left
2:38	in Mom’s Dad and Mom and Dad’s will
2:40	right in a situation like that win or
2:43	lose your relationship with that sibling
2:46	is all but destroyed for what remains of
2:48	this Mortal existence in fact
2:49	Thanksgiving and Christmas will never
2:51	quite be the same
2:53	rather than a season of joy and a family
2:56	reunion around a festive meal each
2:58	holiday from that point forth will be
3:00	forever marred by feelings of loss pain
3:03	anger and sorrow
3:05	yeah and what’s at the root of all of
3:06	this well according to the Apostle Paul
3:09	what’s at the root of all of this is the
3:10	sin of covetousness which he says is
3:13	idolatry
3:15	making God and things well making
3:19	things and money your Idol
3:22	so a man comes to Jesus calls out
3:25	teacher tell my brother to divide the
3:28	inheritance with me
3:30	they’re he’s actually going to the wrong
3:32	guy
3:33	think about it Jesus is not in the
3:36	vocation of well
3:38	State Attorney
3:40	right he’s not a judge this isn’t
3:42	probate court and not only that this is
3:46	the totally wrong inheritance that Jesus
3:48	is about Jesus is not judged in such
3:51	matters
3:52	he’s the judge of the world furthermore
3:54	as we will see later in this message The
3:57	Inheritance that Jesus has charge over
3:59	well it’s not an inheritance that has
4:02	anything to do with this current Earthly
4:05	existence right so Jesus said to them
4:09	take care be on your guard against all
4:13	covetousness for one’s life does not
4:16	consist in the abundance of his
4:18	possessions and I need to note this
4:20	Jesus’s warning is as Stern as any
4:23	warning he’s ever given regarding false
4:25	teachers and false prophets you keep in
4:27	mind we have to guard both our life and
4:29	our Doctrine in this case this has to
4:31	deal with our lives and so he says be on
4:34	your guard against covetousness for
4:36	one’s life does not consist in the
4:38	abundance of his possessions you think
4:40	of that bumper sticker we’ve seen from
4:42	time to time the one with the most toys
4:44	after they die wins no that’s not true
4:48	that is so not true
4:52	small catechism commenting on the 9th
4:54	and tenth commandment says this you
4:56	shall not covet your neighbor’s house
4:57	that’s the ninth commandment what does
4:59	this mean we should fear and love God so
5:02	that we may not craftily seek to get our
5:04	neighbor’s inheritance or house or
5:06	obtain it by a show of justice and right
5:09	or any other means but help and be of
5:12	service to him in keeping it yeah that’s
5:15	the ninth commandment and then tenth
5:17	commandment
5:18	you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife
5:20	or his man’s servant or his maidservant
5:23	or his cattle or anything that is his
5:25	you’re wondering what the distinction is
5:26	between the ninth and tenth Commandments
5:28	both deal with coveting ninth
5:30	commandment deals with coveting stuff
5:32	tenth commandment deals with coveting
5:34	living things
5:36	right
5:37	so what does this mean we should fear
5:39	and love God so that we may not turn may
5:42	not force may not entice away our
5:44	neighbor’s wife servants cattle but urge
5:48	them to stay and carefully do their Duty
5:50	Paul writing in our epistle text today
5:52	says this to us if then you have been
5:55	raised with Christ by the way have you
5:57	been
5:59	you have in the waters of baptism you’ve
6:01	been not United with Christ and his
6:03	death and his resurrection if then you
6:05	have been raised with Christ and you
6:06	have seek the things that are above
6:10	that’s where our inheritance is
6:11	currently you read the end of the book
6:13	in The Book of Revelation the New
6:15	Jerusalem comes down out of heaven so
6:18	where is it right now well it’s it’s
6:20	above where Christ is seek the things
6:23	that are above where Christ is seated at
6:25	the right hand of God set your minds on
6:27	things that are above not on things that
6:30	are on the earth for you have died
6:34	your life is hidden with Christ in God
6:36	and when Christ who is your life appears
6:39	and you will also appear with him in
6:41	glory that’s right you’ve died
6:43	a little bit of a side note here we’ve
6:46	all heard this in the news of the Roman
6:48	Catholic priest who was beheaded in his
6:50	own church by ISIS
6:52	horrific crime if you think about it but
6:55	here’s the thing I want you to keep this
6:58	in mind
6:59	if Isis should show up here and decide
7:02	to behead the pastor of Kong’s finger
7:04	right
7:06	um they might be coming for my life but
7:08	as Hans Feeney of lcms Pastor commenting
7:11	on this noted they might come from my
7:14	life but well Isis would be too late
7:17	Christ has already taken it
7:19	Christ has already taken your life too
7:21	you’ve already died in your baptism so
7:24	if Isis shows up here
7:26	too late Jesus already has us we’re
7:29	already dead so keep that in mind
7:32	because we’ve already died then we are
7:35	admonished by the Apostle Paul in our
7:37	epistle text then to put to death
7:38	therefore what is Earthly in you in case
7:41	you wanted to know what that looks like
7:43	the little thumbnail sketch here sexual
7:45	immorality yep that’s Earthly impurity
7:49	passion evil desires covetousness which
7:53	is idolatry and this is the sin that we
7:55	are addressing today in Our Gospel text
7:57	the sin of covetousness on account of
7:59	these the wrath of God is coming yeah
8:02	that’s right have you ever stopped to
8:05	think that the person who is obsessed
8:07	with wealth obsessed with having
8:10	everything that this life has to offer
8:12	is as immoral as somebody who is
8:15	sexually perverse
8:17	they are scripture is very clear on this
8:20	in these you too once walked yeah none
8:23	of us are innocent when it comes to
8:24	these things we used to walk in these
8:26	things when we were living in them but
8:28	now
8:29	as Christians we must put them all away
8:31	put away anger put away wrath put away
8:34	malice put away slander put away obscene
8:37	talk from your mouth do not lie to one
8:40	another seeing that you have put off the
8:41	old self with its practices and you have
8:43	put on the new self which is being
8:45	renewed in knowledge after the image of
8:47	its creator here there is not Greek Jew
8:51	circumcised uncircumcised barbarians
8:53	scythians slave or free but Christ is
8:56	all and in all in other words all of
8:59	that way those ways in which we kind of
9:01	judge people well that person’s wealthy
9:04	that person’s poor that person well he’s
9:07	of that descent he’s not Norwegian he’s
9:10	German or polish but he’s Norwegian over
9:13	here all of those distinctions go away
9:16	in Christ so then Jesus tells a parable
9:19	going back to our gospel text and here’s
9:21	the parable the land of a rich man
9:24	produced plentifully and he thought to
9:26	himself what shall I do for I have
9:28	nowhere to store my crops
9:30	all right wow note here it says the land
9:34	of the rich man produced plentifully who
9:38	was it that would was supplying all of
9:40	this wealth to him it was God
9:43	right the farmers will tell you
9:46	know that well some years are really
9:48	great the land produced plentifully
9:50	other years they’re kind of like this
9:52	one things get a little scarce out there
9:54	in the fields right but it was the land
9:56	that produced which means it was God who
9:58	was the one giving this to him and so he
10:00	has this problem what shall I do I have
10:02	nowhere to store my crops
10:04	that’s what we call a first world
10:06	problem
10:07	right
10:09	so he said I know I’ll do this I’ll tear
10:11	down my barns build larger ones and
10:14	there I will store all my grain and my
10:17	goods and I will say to my soul soul
10:21	you have ample Goods laid up for many
10:23	years relax eat drink be merry go to
10:28	Tahiti right enjoy floofy drinks on a
10:31	Shea’s lounge with a little umbrella in
10:34	it right work on your suntan read a book
10:38	okay
10:39	Augustine
10:41	long ago wrote actually preached on this
10:44	text here’s some of the things he said
10:45	he said this silly fool of a man he was
10:49	hoarding perishable crops
10:52	and Augustine makes his Point again he
10:53	says I repeat he was hoarding perishable
10:56	crops while he himself was at the very
10:58	point of perishing because he had handed
11:01	out nothing to the Lord before whom he
11:04	was now due to appear
11:06	and at that trial at his trial he was
11:09	going to hear the words of Christ say I
11:13	was hungry and you did not give me
11:16	anything to eat
11:19	wow he was planning to fill his soul
11:22	with excessive and unnecessary feasting
11:25	and he was proudly disregarding all
11:28	those empty bellies of the poor he did
11:32	not realize that the bellies of the poor
11:34	were a much safer storeroom than his
11:36	barns but if he had stowed it away in
11:39	the bellies of the poor true it would
11:40	have of course been digested here on
11:43	Earth the reality is in heaven
11:46	it would have been kept all the more
11:48	safely and the reason for this is quite
11:49	simple Proverbs 19 17 says this whoever
11:53	is generous to the poor lends to the
11:56	Lord and the Lord will repay him for his
11:58	deed
12:00	so notice this man’s not rich towards
12:02	anyone except for himself and that’s the
12:05	thing the one who is Covetous the one
12:08	who is storing up riches the one who
12:10	thinks that life’s all about the
12:12	acquiring of possessions and wealth and
12:15	all that kind of stuff that person
12:17	becomes a self-centered egotistical
12:19	monster
12:21	and cares nothing about anybody else on
12:24	the planet except for himself
12:26	and so God gives his Judgment of him in
12:28	our text and says fool
12:32	fool
12:35	loaded theological term read Proverbs
12:38	it’s the fool who says in his heart
12:39	there is no God
12:41	and that’s what this man has done he’s
12:42	lived his life as if there is no God he
12:45	has no love for God no love for neighbor
12:47	he only loves self this is the utter
12:49	picture of foolishness
12:52	fool this night your soul is required of
12:55	you and the things that you have
12:57	prepared whose will they be
13:01	you know over and again we’ve all heard
13:03	the preachers say I’ve never seen a
13:05	U-Haul at a funeral
13:08	right never seen a U-Haul at a funeral
13:11	that’s right because once that person’s
13:14	dead well all that stuff gets divvied up
13:17	no one gets to take it with them no one
13:21	and so that’s what Ecclesiastes says all
13:24	of this is Vanity
13:25	and so the text then says so it is with
13:28	the one who lays up treasure for himself
13:31	and is not rich towards God and here’s
13:33	what it means to be rich towards God
13:35	first of all rich towards God and
13:37	trusting in the promises of God the
13:39	Forgiveness of our sins one by Christ
13:42	that repentant faith
13:45	leads to true love fear and God and
13:49	results in love towards others right
13:52	that’s what it means to be rich towards
13:54	God and the Apostle Paul in first
13:56	Timothy chapter 6 verses 6 through 19
13:59	tells us Christians
14:02	well the right mindset that we are to
14:04	have here’s what he says godliness with
14:07	contentment is great gain contentment
14:11	the Christian is content for we brought
14:13	nothing into the world and we cannot
14:15	take anything out of the world but if we
14:19	have food and clothing with these we
14:20	will be content but those who desire to
14:23	be rich fall into temptation into a
14:26	snare and into many senseless and
14:29	harmful desires that plunge people into
14:31	ruin and destruction For the Love of
14:34	Money is the root of all kinds of evil
14:36	and it is through this craving that some
14:38	have wandered away from the faith and
14:40	pierced themselves with many pangs
14:45	the desire for riches is well
14:49	quite frankly quite evil and you’ll
14:51	notice what Paul says Stern warning some
14:53	by Desiring to be wealthy have resulted
14:57	it has resulted in them wandering away
14:59	from the faith
15:01	you wander away from the faith to your
15:03	own Eternal peril
15:05	the love of riches is the root of all
15:07	kinds of evil but then Paul continues
15:09	but as for you you Christians o man of
15:12	God a woman of God flee these things
15:15	flee the desire to be wealthy instead
15:19	pursue righteousness pursue godliness
15:21	pursue Faith pursue love steadfastness
15:25	gentleness fight the good fight of Faith
15:28	take hold of the eternal life to which
15:31	you were called so notice here the
15:34	desire for wealth enriches here
15:37	is totally antithetical to what it is
15:39	that our real hope is you think Jesus
15:42	and his death on the cross is a means
15:45	for you to have well a mansion here and
15:48	now or as Joel Osteen says to have your
15:50	best laugh now
15:53	keep in mind if you have your best laugh
15:55	now you’re going to hell
15:59	right
16:02	we instead are to take hold of the
16:05	eternal life to which we have been
16:07	called and about which we’ve made the
16:09	good confession in the presence of many
16:11	witnesses Paul says that I charge you in
16:14	the presence of God
16:15	who gives life to all things and of
16:18	Christ Jesus who in his testimony before
16:20	Pontius Pilate made the good confession
16:22	to keep the commandment unstained and
16:25	free from reproach until the appearing
16:27	of our Lord Jesus Christ which he will
16:30	display at the proper time he who is the
16:32	blessed and only Sovereign the King of
16:34	Kings and the Lord of lords who alone
16:36	has immortality who dwells in
16:38	unapproachable light whom no one has
16:41	ever seen or can see to him be the honor
16:43	and eternal Dominion amen and as for the
16:46	rich in this present age the holy spirit
16:48	says to the Apostle Paul charge them not
16:51	to be haughty
16:53	there’s nothing worse than an arrogant
16:55	rich person
16:57	did you see my car out in the parking
16:59	lot it only cost me sixty thousand
17:02	dollars got it for a steal yeah right
17:07	right you just want to take that person
17:09	aside and right yeah
17:12	to the rich tell them not to be haughty
17:15	in order to set their hopes on the
17:17	uncertainty of riches oh there’s nothing
17:20	more more fun to watch than a wealthy
17:24	person while the stock market is tanking
17:27	right they’re popping Pepcid like you
17:30	wouldn’t believe right because all of
17:32	their hope is in well
17:34	and riches isn’t it fascinating that
17:37	over and again we’ve seen in our
17:38	lifetime people who’ve amassed large
17:42	portions to see them whoosh disappear
17:45	overnight
17:47	with an unexpected turn in the stock
17:49	market
17:50	riches are uncertain
17:52	they truly are
17:54	so don’t set your hopes on the
17:56	uncertainty of riches but set them on
17:58	God who richly provides us with
18:00	everything to enjoy they are to do good
18:03	they are to be rich in Good Works to be
18:05	generous and ready to share thus storing
18:09	up treasure for themselves as a good
18:11	foundation for the future and that is in
18:13	heaven so they may take hold of that
18:16	which is truly life wealth in this age
18:19	is not truly life
18:21	it doesn’t matter what the magazines say
18:23	it doesn’t matter what the television
18:24	says it doesn’t matter what all of the
18:27	Hollywood reporters talk about right
18:31	you achieve the American dream you
18:33	become a famous movie star you buy a
18:36	mansion in Bel Air
18:38	right that’s the that’s the life right
18:42	the scripture says no that’s not the
18:44	life
18:45	because that’s here now all of this is
18:47	gonna burn
18:50	true life is what’s coming and it’s
18:52	above
18:54	now a gospel text began with these words
18:58	someone in the crowd said to Jesus
19:00	teacher tell my brother to divide the
19:02	inheritance with me
19:04	I want you to consider this
19:05	by Earthly standards Jesus at his death
19:09	was utterly penniless
19:12	when someone has lost everything in this
19:15	life you know they’ve gone through a
19:16	disaster maybe someone’s house has
19:19	burned down or a tornado has blown
19:21	through and destroyed their property
19:22	right how do we describe that person
19:24	well they escaped with only the clothes
19:26	on their backs right
19:29	but you see Jesus didn’t
19:32	he did not escape with only the clothes
19:34	on his back because it says that when he
19:36	was crucified the Roman soldiers cast
19:39	lots for his clothes
19:43	Jesus while he was being crucified
19:44	didn’t even have the clothes on his back
19:48	Roman soldiers made sure of that so by
19:51	Earthly standards Jesus is the exact
19:54	opposite of that rich Uncle we all wish
19:58	we had
19:59	right he literally had nothing
20:02	absolutely nothing and there was nothing
20:04	on a will there was no reading out of
20:07	his will after his death and to John I
20:11	give this and to Peter I would like you
20:13	to have my
20:16	he had nothing right
20:18	yet God’s word over and over and over
20:23	again says that you and I have an
20:26	inheritance and I need to note a rich
20:29	one
20:30	because of Jesus Ephesians chapter 1
20:33	says this starting at verse 13.
20:35	in him you also when you heard the word
20:39	of Truth The Gospel of your salvation
20:41	and believed in him you were sealed with
20:44	the promised Holy Spirit who is the
20:47	guarantee of our inheritance until we
20:50	acquire possession of it to the praise
20:53	of his glory
20:55	look at that
20:57	the man who dies penniless and without
20:59	any clothes has left us an inheritance
21:02	the will has been read out in the New
21:05	Covenant and we are now possessors of
21:08	this inheritance but we haven’t taken
21:10	possession of it physically yet but we
21:12	have it now
21:14	this is what Paul is saying so Jesus’s
21:17	will has been read out and you what
21:20	you’ve inherited listen to me I when I
21:22	tell you this it is way beyond your
21:24	comprehension in fact I need to be the
21:27	first to inform you if you haven’t
21:28	already figured this out you are
21:31	actually wealthy Beyond Your Wildest
21:33	Dreams
21:34	and your inheritance is currently kept
21:36	in a place where no moth can eat it
21:39	no robber can steal it no downturn in
21:42	the stock market can take it away
21:45	in fact can’t even make one penny of it
21:47	disappear
21:48	and Jesus has personally according to
21:51	scripture built a mansion for you and
21:54	has spared no expense
21:56	fact according to the Book of Revelation
21:58	the roadway leading to your Mansion is
22:00	literally paved with gold not even Trump
22:03	has pulled that one off right
22:07	yeah
22:08	not only that
22:10	according to scripture you’re going to
22:11	be able to enjoy this inheritance for
22:14	more far more than a measly 10 20 30
22:17	maybe 50 years instead you’re going to
22:20	be able to enjoy this inheritance
22:21	forever in a World Without End
22:27	wow
22:29	Peter writing about this in First Peter
22:31	chapter 1 verse 3 says this blessed be
22:34	the God and father of our Lord Jesus
22:35	Christ according to his great Mercy he
22:38	has caused us to be born again to a
22:40	Living Hope through the resurrection of
22:42	Jesus Christ from the dead to an
22:45	inheritance that is imperishable
22:47	undefiled unfading kept in heaven for
22:51	you who by God’s power you are now being
22:54	guarded through faith for a Salvation
22:56	that is ready to be revealed in the last
22:58	time in this you rejoice though now for
23:02	a little while if necessary you have
23:04	been grieved by various trials so that
23:07	the tested genuineness of your faith
23:09	which is more precious than gold that
23:11	perishes though it is tested by fire may
23:13	be found to result in praise and glory
23:16	and honor at the revelation of Jesus
23:18	Christ though you have not seen him you
23:21	love him though you did not you do not
23:24	now see him you believe in him and
23:26	rejoice with joy that is inexpressible
23:28	and filled with Glory obtaining the
23:31	outcome of your faith which is the
23:33	Salvation of your very Souls
23:37	wow
23:39	so in our story today
23:41	our Parable Jesus made it clear that
23:44	that rich fool
23:46	lost his very soul
23:49	but your soul has not been lost
23:51	you have been buried and raised with
23:53	Christ
23:54	the will has been read out you’re in the
23:57	will
23:58	you have this inheritance now it is
24:02	currently yours you have not yet taken
24:05	possession of it it’s kind of like that
24:08	space of time in between the reading out
24:10	of the will and the actual check being
24:13	cached in your bank account right you go
24:15	and you have here the will read out
24:17	you’ve inherited this you’ve inherited
24:20	that you’ve inherited this amount and
24:22	then there’s a small gap of time
24:25	between you know that this is now yours
24:28	and the time when you take possession of
24:30	it that’s the time that we’re in right
24:32	now
24:34	you are wealthy Beyond Compare
24:39	you will never have any want
24:43	I mean it’s like you’ve won the lottery
24:46	you’re just waiting for the state’s
24:48	check to arrive
24:50	and all of this is a gift it’s an
24:52	inheritance from Christ
24:54	so why on Earth would you set your mind
24:56	on the things here that are all passing
24:59	away
25:00	rather than on the inheritance that is
25:02	coming that you now already have
25:05	so when it comes to coveting the things
25:07	of this Earth
25:09	see it for what it is the sin of
25:11	idolatry
25:12	and that being the case
25:14	you know what we do with sin
25:16	we repent
25:18	we repent
25:20	Lord
25:22	you’re right we’re wrong
25:24	we’re sorry forgive us
25:27	you see riches are deceitful
25:29	and the devil uses them as the bait in a
25:31	trap that will ultimately send you
25:33	straight to hell
25:34	but because of Christ because he has
25:37	chosen to become absolutely
25:38	poverty-stricken for you you now have
25:41	Wealth Beyond Your Wildest Dreams in a
25:44	World Without End
25:46	so set your minds on the things that are
25:48	above where Jesus is and do not fall for
25:51	the devil’s trap because Jesus has left
25:53	you such an outrageous inheritance now
25:56	therefore I want you to consider this
25:58	since you are the wealthiest people on
26:00	the planet be generous
26:04	be generous
26:06	in fact anything you lend to somebody
26:08	who is poor right now God will pay you
26:10	back
26:12	you don’t need to worry about them doing
26:13	it you are already way more Rich than
26:17	Bill Gates George Soros or any
26:19	billionaire on the planet
26:21	that’s the truth so be generous with
26:23	what you have
26:24	nothing you have here
26:27	by the way will make it through the fire
26:29	of the last day nothing
26:32	so don’t set your heart or mind on any
26:33	of it it’s all going to burn
26:35	but because you are in Christ because
26:38	he’s died for you because your sins have
26:40	been washed away and you you will not
26:43	burn
26:44	so instead you will hear from Jesus on
26:47	the last day well done good and faithful
26:49	servant you have been Faithful over a
26:51	little therefore I will set you over
26:53	much enter into the joy of your master
26:56	keep your eye on what’s coming
26:59	nothing here stays
27:02	yep and you think about Jesus and how
27:06	rich he is and he rather than store up
27:09	all of his grace in a storehouse or in a
27:11	barn he distributes it freely here
27:14	every single Sunday
27:18	he distributes it freely with the
27:20	Forgiveness of sins in the Absolution
27:21	freely in the waters of baptism freely
27:24	with his own body and blood
27:26	keep trusting in that Jesus who has died
27:28	even for our sins of coveting and
27:30	idolatry
27:31	and keep your eyes on what’s coming
27:33	it’ll be here sooner than you think
27:36	it’ll be well
27:38	like it arrives tomorrow and it will be
27:41	it will be tomorrow in the name of Jesus
27:45	amen
