When It’s Time to Make a Deal | Rev. Wil Cantrell

Jesus celebrates a dishonest manager who, upon learning of his impending dismissal, cut deals with his master’s business associate so he will have a job waiting on him after he his fired. Jesus’ celebration isn’t meant as condoning dishonest business practices. He is using this man as an example of someone who realizes their world is changing quickly and who uses their resources to prepare for the world to come.  In the same way, Jesus encourages us to use all we have gained from the rat race on earth to prepare ourselves for a very different reality that is coming in the Kingdom of Heaven.
