Secrets of the Unjust Steward – Lk. 16:1-18

Have you ever watched those TV documentaries that unlock some deep, dark secret? Maybe it’s the secret of King Tut’s tomb; or the secret life of an underworld crime boss. Whatever the topic, the point is to understand something that has remained a mystery for a long time. How do they do it? By carefully finding and analyzing evidence.
Today we will discuss the parable of the unjust steward. This parable is arguably the most confusing of all the parables. Most people struggle with it – I know I did for many, many years. But if we slow down and look at the details; if we pay attention to the evidence, the truth reveals itself. This parable has a lot to show us about what it means to live in this wicked world as a child of God.
