Jesus teaches in Luke
16:1-13 a parable of the Shrewd Manager that includes three lessons. Today
we'll look at the second one.
Treasures are a trust.
“Whoever
can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is
dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not
been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true
riches? And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who
will give you property of your own?” (Luke 16:10–12)
According to Jesus, how
we handle his money is an act of faith.
Will we trust him with a
little, and receive a little, or will we trust him with a lot and receive a
lot?
Trust in the Lord and
handle your treasure wisely.
