Luke 16
Why commend someone who was dishonest in this parable?
Jesus is not urging us to cheat. He is encouraging his disciples to be savvy about the use of money and other world matter. Being wise in such matter is essential to make an impact for all eternity.
In the portion of Additional teachings
What Jesus preached did not cancel the Law, He fulfilled it. Through his grace may the Law be fulfilled? The Law paves the way for GOD to show his love for people through Jesus.
In this parable is very interesting, we can learn
1) The righteous and un righteous will go to different places
2) Both are conscious and recall their life on earth
3) The unrighteous suffer torment while the righteous is comforted.
In V31 I ask myself why someone who rose from the dead wouldn’t convince people. Won’t it be easier?
They will ignore the evidence already available for them to respond in faith. Even today, people dodge evidence of Christianity’s truth. They are more interested keeping their way of life than submitting to the truth.
Luke 17:1-10
As Jesus preaches about this, a question came to my mind. How much faith do we need?
I believe like planting a seed, and it grows; use a little faith, and your life will grow too. Perhaps we don’t need to pray to GOD to increase our faith; rather we may need to ask him to help us use the faith we have.
Whatever the case, we need Faith.
