With the Rich and the FamousKey Text

1 Timothy 6:10 NKJV

For the love of money is a root of

all kinds of evil, for which somehave strayed from the faith intheir greediness, and pierced

themselves through with manysorrow.

With the Rich and the FamousInitial Words

Money can have a powerful influenceover all of us. Because personal

financial habits comprehensively

represent an individuals values,money is actually a spiritual matter.

Famous people exercise influence,which is one form of power. Jesuswanted them to have the kind of

riches that money cannot buy.

With the Rich and the Famous1. The Man Who Came at Night

John 3:1-3 NKJVThere was a man of the Phariseesnamed Nicodemus, a ruler of the

Jews. The man came to Jesus by nightand said to Him, Rabbi, we know that

You are a teacher came from God.Jesus answered, Most assuredly, Isay to you, unless one is born again,

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

1. The Man Who Came at NightRich and Famous

Wealthy, well-positioned famouspeople did not intimidate Jesus. Christ

neither resented nor revered the

social elite.The Savior recognized that financial

prosperity could not supply peace,personal contentment, meaningfulrelationships, or deep-seated

purpose.


13/23

1. The Man Who Came at NightNicodemus

Nicodemus rebelled against anysuggestion that knowledgeable

Israelites should require conversion.

Jesus persisted, presentingNicodemus with the eternal choice

between judgment and salvation.That spiritual seed, lay buried, slowlygerminating beneath his hearts soil.

With the Rich and the Famous2. The Man Who Wanted to See Jesus

Luke 19:2-5 NKJVThere was a man named Zacchaeuswho was a chief tax collector, and he

was rich. And he sought to see whoJesus was. So he ran ahead and

climbed up a sycamore tree to seeHim. Jesus said to him, Zacchaeus,

make haste and come down, for

today I must stay at your house.


15/23

2. The Man Who Wanted to See JesusRich and Infamous

Respectability does not alwaysaccompany wealth. Many do earn their

wealth honestly through hard work,

industriousness, and the blessings ofGod, others are outright crooks.

Even worse, some make their moneylegally but immorally, for noteverything immoral is illegal, as we all

know so well.


16/23

2. The Man Who Wanted to See JesusZacchaeus

Zealous patriots despised even honestcustoms collectors, seeing them as

tools of their Roman oppressors, but

they greatly disdained dishonest onessuch as Zacchaeus.

Essentially having assumed the role ofRoman governmental agents, theywere viewed as traitors, or worse yet,

thieving traitors.


17/23

2. The Man Who Wanted to See JesusZacchaeus

Christ was not deterred. Defyingsocial constraints, Jesus dined with

them, drawing intense criticism from

priests and commoners alike. And, byJesus interaction with them, these

despised men were won to thegospel.We should be careful about the kind

of spiritual judgments we make

With the Rich and the Famous3. The Man Who Kept It All

Matthew 19:16-22 NKJVOne came and said, Good Teacher,

what good thing shall I do that I may

inherit eternal life? Jesus said tohim, If you want to be perfect, go,

sell what you have and give to thepoorand come, follow Me.Buthe went away sorrowful, for he

had great possessions.

3. The Man Who Kept It AllWarning About Materialism

1. Things own us. It is easy to beconsumed by material possessions.

2. It is easy for money, or the pursuitof it, to blind our spiritual priorities.

3. Materialistic persons, whether

rich or poor, are in danger ofsacrificing eternal well-being for

temporal pleasure.

3. The Man Who Kept It AllRich Young Ruler

He possessed credentials,qualifications, abundant materialresources, unquestioned morality, and

unlimited self-esteem!Should Christ have been flattered?

Finally were converting the upperclasses! Apparently no such

exhilaration polluted Christs thinking.

21/23


Christ established the TenCommandments as the minimum

standard of obedience.

Christ had elsewhere demandedrighteousness that exceeded that

which other religious leaderspossessed.Would that standard be lowered to

accommodate this candidate?

22/23

How many have come to Christ,ready to cast their interests in with

hisearnestly desiring to inherit

eternal life! But when the cost ispresented to themwhentold that

they must forsake allthey go awaysorrowful. They are not willing tosurrender all to obtain the crown of

life.EGW, The Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, April 19, 1898.

Final WordsThe Ministry of Healing 210

Riches and worldly honor cannotsatisfy the soul. Many among the rich

are longing for some divine

assurance, some spiritual hope. Manylong for something that will bring to

an end the monotony of their aimlesslives.Manyfeel their need of something

which they have not Shall we make
