Jesus calls each of us to ask ourselves what we are doing with our money? Actually, it is not “our” money it is His which He has loaned to us for the time we live here in this world. You and I owe a great debt to the God we serve, a debt we can never repay. Let us always use what He has given us to serve Him and bring others to Him while we live here. In Luke 16, Jesus tells a parable about a man, a steward or household manager, who is suddenly told by the wealthy man for whom he works that he no longer has a job. In this parable, we see his assessment of his present situation and the plan he puts together for his future. Ultimately, his master praises him for his shrewd action. From this parable, Jesus teaches us some valuable lessons concerning our own lives. Let’s look at the parable in order to better understand what happens and then at the lessons which Jesus wants us to learn.
