Luke 16:1-18
The Parable of the Shrewd Manager
Luke 16:1-18
The Parable of the Shrewd Manager
Most of us are familiar with the phrase “two wrongs don’t make a right”. In this parable, both characters, the master and the manager are corrupt. Knowing that he would lose his job, the manager gained favor with his master’s debtors by lowering their debt to secure his future.
Jesus used this parable to teach his disciples that all wealth belongs to God. God entrusts us with wealth in order to bless the least and the lost. “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trust with much. (v10).
The decision is ours to choose. Do you want God to direct your path or allow earthly resources direct your future?
