Sunday of the Unjust Steward
|
 The Sunday of the Unjust Steward (Luke 16:1-31), with its parable of a dishonest accountant whose master has discovered his treachery, tells how the accountant makes his master's debtors grateful to him by reducing their bills, so that they will help him later. The master praises him for looking out for himself. It is a strange story, at first glance, but it reminds us that we are all stewards of God's world. If the dishonest "children of this world" can use what it offers for their own gain, then certainly the "children of light" who put God first can learn to use the things of this world not for themselves but for His glory. |
