Overview & Insights

"The master commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness." (Luke 16:8)

Jesus tells of a manager about to be dismissed who quietly reduces what his master's debtors owe so they will welcome him once he is out of work. He draws the lesson that his followers should use worldly wealth wisely to gain friends for the age to come.
