The Shrewd Manager

Lukas 16:1–13

What Yeshua is saying

A manager about to be fired uses his last days to discount his master's debts and make friends — and is commended for shrewdness.

The explanation

Yeshua is not commending dishonesty. He is shaming His disciples that the children of this age are more strategic about money than the children of light are about eternity. Use unrighteous mammon to make eternal friends — give it away into the Kingdom now, while you still hold the books.
