Weep and Howl!Initial Words
M any people vicariously enjoy therags-to-riches fantasy and probably
hope it could happen to them
someday.But wealth isn’t all that many believe
it to be. Increasing income followsthe law of diminishing returns:beyond allowing people to live
comfortably, more possessions do

1. The Wealthy ’ s WretchednessJustice Will Be Done!
J ames 1:10, 11, reminded the rich ofthe impermanence of wealth. Chapter
5, urges those who stubbornly hold
on to it to “weep and howl.” The vividdescription continues throughout our
passage bringing to mind the divineretribution for the wicked excess thatcharacterizes the period just prior to
Christ’s return (see Luke 17:27 –
29).

1. The Wealthy ’ s WretchednessJustice Will Be Done!
A similar attitude permeates God’s last-day church (Rev. 3:17).
Interestingly, the Greek wordtranslated as “miseries” in James 5:1comes from the same root used to
describe Laodicea as “wretched” inRevelation 3:17.

1. The Wealthy ’ s WretchednessJustice Will Be Done!
There is so much injustice in the world,especially economic injustice.
Sometimes it is so hard to understand
why some people get rich exploitingthe poor and seem to get away with it!
We should do what we can to alleviateinjustice, while resting in the promisethat, somehow, when it’s all over,
God’s justice will be done

Weep and Howl! 2. The Wealth’s Worthlessness
James 5:2, 3 NKJV“Y our riches are corrupted, and yourgarments are moth-eaten. Your gold
and silver are corroded, and theircorrosion will be a witness againstyou and will eat your flesh like fire.
You have heaped up treasure in the
last days.”

2. The Wealth’ s WorthlessnessWrong Use
T he world’s economic situationalways seems to be going from onecrisis to another; even the “good”
times, when they come, rarely lastand are always followed by a
downturn.Discontent and instability grows asthe disparity between rich and poor
widens.

2. The Wealth’ s WorthlessnessWrong Use
Money has its place;the problem is when people put itin the wrong place.
Money will be “a witness against” those who misuse it (James 5:3).
Though given in an end-time context,the point should be clear: how we use
our money matters.

2. The Wealth’ s WorthlessnessWrong Use
The image of flesh-consuming fire ismeant to wake us up to the
seriousness of the choices we are
making with our money.
Are we heaping up treasure that
will ultimately be burned up,or are we saving for eternity?
(See Luke 12:33, 34.)

Weep and Howl! 3. The Wealthy’s Wickedness
James 5:4-6 NKJV“I ndeed the wages of the laborers...
which you kept back by fraud, cry
out.... You have lived on earth inpleasure and luxury; you have
fattened your hearts as in a day ofslaughter.
You have condemned, you have
murdered the just....”

3. The Wealthy ’ s WickednessCries of the Poor
I n Bible times, as soon as wages werepaid, many, if not most, of the workers
used these earnings to buy food to feed
their families. Withholding wages oftenmeant the family had to go hungry.
For someone already rich to hoardwealth by stealing from the poor is asin, not just against the poor but a sin
against heaven itself.

3. The Wealthy ’ s WickednessCries of the Poor
“Riches bring with them greatresponsibilities. To obtain wealth byunjust dealing, by overreaching in
trade, by oppressing the widow andthe fatherless, or by hoarding up
riches and neglecting the wants of theneedy, will eventually bring the justretribution....”—Testimonies for the
Church 2:682.

3. The Wealthy ’ s WickednessFat and Happy (for Now)
In the ancient world, the notionprevailed that there was a fixedamount of wealth. The rich can get
richer only by making the poorpoorer. The issue of wealth inequality
still rages today.
In the parable of the rich man andLazarus, the real focus is this life, not
the afterlife; no future life in which’

3. The Wealthy ’ s WickednessBlame the Victim
When someone has done wrong, thenatural tendency is to try to escape
responsibility.
Often people try to do this bytransferring the responsibility to
someone else—including the personwho has been wronged.

3. The Wealthy ’ s WickednessBlame the Victim
James never condemns the richsimply because they are rich. It istheir attitudes and actions that
matter to God. Similarly, the bare factof being economically poor does not
in itself endear a person to God.It is the “poor in spirit ” and “rich in
faith” who will be “heirs of the
kingdom” (Matt. 5:3, James 2:5, NKJV).

Weep and Howl! Final Words
“H oarded wealth is not merelyuseless,
it is a curse. In this life it is a snare to
the soul, drawing the affections awayfrom the heavenly treasure....
He who realizes that his money is atalent from God will use it eco-nomically, and will feel it a duty to
save that he may give ”—Christ’s Object
