~ESUS was surrounded by a null
titude of Jews, one Of whom re-
quested that Jesus admonish his
- brother to give him a share of
the family Inheritance. Jesus declined,
saying that He was not judge or a
divider, and backing His refusal with
a caution against covetousness. This
implies that the man who addressed
Jesus was coveting what legally be-
longed to his brother. Jesus would
have him, and all, see that abundance
of earthly possessions is not the sum
of life. The basis of happiness is meas
ured by the souls relationship to God
and hope in Him.
Gods promise to Israel was that If
they would keep the Law, they would
inherit the Promise made to Abraham,
and be used as Gods Kingdom to bless
