A Reality Check from Beyond the Grave (Part 1 of 2)
May 7, 2024
The story of the rich man and Lazarus is here to show us what matters in the long run and what does not. The rich man enjoyed good things in this life, but they mean nothing to him beyond the grave—where he finds himself excluded from the bliss of the Lord’s presence and the Kingdom. From the other side of the grave, his greatest wish is for his loved ones to be warned to repent, but he is powerless to help them by that time. This vision of eternity gives us a powerful and clear perspective on wealth and what really matters.

The Lord has entrusted us with resources and opportunities to use fruitfully while we await his return. Jesus has a stark warning for those who would use those things for personal indulgence rather than fruitful service. We need to keep in mind the reality of his return when we consider how we use that which he has given us. ‘Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required.’

One of the ways that money grabs hold of our heart is through fear—fear of the future, fear of not having enough. Jesus tells us that the Father cares for us, and we have no need to worry. Instead of fixating on money, we need to train our heart to seek his kingdom first and invest ourselves there.

Money is not a bad thing, but coveting money is terribly dangerous. Jesus warns us against longing for money and placing our confidence in the abundance of money. At the final day, worldly wealth will not help us—only “riches toward God”. We must be on our guard, and learn contentment with what we have.

Here Paul is using the imagery of a building to teach us about the way in which the church of Jesus Christ is constructed. He wants us to see that care is needed at every stage and that only the finest materials will do. The quality and integrity of God’s building—the church—matters immensely to God himself. He will hold every worker to account for the work they do on his building.
