Study 40 of
"Search The Scriptures” Is:
Luke 16:1-13
The point of
this parable lies not in the dishonesty of the steward’s plan, but in his
prudent provision for the future.
1. Verses 1-9.
For what did the steward’s master commend him? What ought Christian
disciples to learn from the wisdom of the world? How can money be used to
provide spiritual capital’ for the future? Cf. 1 Tim. 6:18-19.
2. Verses 10-13. How do these verses show that
Jesus was not condoning the steward’s dishonesty? How ought material
possessions to be seen in perspective?
Note. Verses 9, 11, 13. ‘Mammom’
means ‘money’. It is called ‘unrighteous’ because of the way it easily leads
men to dishonesty. Cf. 1 Tim. 6:10.
