Luke 16:1-9 meaningNovember 4, 2022
Jesus tells His disciples the Parable of the Unrighteous Steward. It is about a manager of a rich man's estate who is fired for bad stewardship. Unsure of how he'll live, he comes up with a shrewd plan. He summons his former employer's debtors and ingratiates himself to them by greatly reducing their debts. Because they will have a social obligation to repay him, his future is secure. The master commends him for the way he cleverly used the master's wealth to benefit himself. This ends the parable, highlighting that the point is to "be shrewd". Jesus then makes the observation that the sons of this age are more shrewd in using reciprocity to advance their temporal ambitions than the sons of light are in regard to their eternal ambitions. He exhorts the disciples to be shrewd by using their stewardship of earthly assets to make eternal friends.
