Covetousness not Confined to the Rich
Mark 14:9-11
Truly I say to you, Wherever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world…


The poor may think they are free from this sin, and in no danger of falling into it. But(1) look, does not the love of money or riches possess thy soul? If so, then, though thou be poor, yet thou mayest be in danger of this sin; yea, thou mayest be deeply tainted with it — if thy heart be in love with worldly wealth; if thou eagerly desire to be rich, and esteem wealth too highly, thinking only those who have it happy.

(2) If discontented with thy present estate, it is a sign thou art covetous.

(George Petter.)
