Though I called today's story “The Commendation of A Rogue", it is commonly known as “Parable of The Shrewd Manager” or "The Parable of The Unjust Steward."
“Shrewd” – That's a loaded word! Sometimes it
has a negative connotation. Let's consider the positive meaning. It means “to act with foresight.” It means “to act decisively in the present so
you're better positioned for the future.”
For some, the decision you need to make right now is to
surrender your life to Jesus Christ. One day your life will end. Your body will die. Your stewardship will end. Death is God's way of saying, “You can no
longer be a steward. Give account.” One day you will give account of your life,
including what you did with the opportunities to receive
Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
Knowing that life is temporary and time passes quickly, you must
act shrewdly concerning eternity.
