Types of Judgement Luke 16 Day 1
Here, we see Jesus invited by a Pharisee to a table talk. Normally, these Pharisees don’t agree with Jesus. They ask Him to find faults in Him through His speech.

Jesus never refused and went as He’s fond of eating with sinners; whoever He would go, He’s not unique.

Looking back to the previous chapters, you will find Jesus was famous with sinners and in contact with the controversial Church elders of His day.

One thing I want us to consider at this point is that Jesus generously has access to everyone: sinners, prostitutes, church leaders, the blind, the short, and the tall. Evidently, if He were a politician and contested elections, He would win.

Let’s hear what Jesus is saying from verses 1-8

“Then Jesus told his disciples, “A rich man had a business manager. The manager was accused of wasting the rich man’s property. So the rich man called for his manager and said, ‘What’s this I hear about you? Let me examine your books. You can’t manage my property any longer.’ “The manager thought, ‘What should I do? My master is taking my job away from me. I’m not strong enough to dig and ashamed to beg. I know what I’ll do so that people will welcome me into their homes when I’ve lost my job.’ “So the manager called for each one of his master’s debtors. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ “The debtor replied, ‘Eight hundred gallons of olive oil.’ “The manager told him, ‘Take my master’s ledger. Quick! Sit down and write “four hundred!”‘ “Then he asked another debtor, ‘How much do you owe?’ “The debtor replied, ‘A thousand bushels of wheat.’ “The manager told him, ‘Take the ledger, and write “eight hundred!”‘ “The master praised the dishonest manager for being so clever. Worldly people are cleverer than spiritually-minded people when dealing with others.”

Luke 16:1-8 “

Ironically, the master praised the corrupt servant.

The Lord has ways to find suitable amid our stupidity. Sometimes, we are evil, carnal, and double-minded, but Jesus seems to find a way to commend us and get the best from us. How?

Hebrews 11 is the chapter about how faith is put into practice. Samson, the name of prostitutes, is mentioned; in Hebrew, cowards are found to be praised. Samson failed, being misled by a woman, but finally practiced his faith after praying and putting the house down. Wow, great!!

I heard prostitutes don’t fail their promise; I heard if you employ gangs after paying them cash, they will carry out your mission successfully. God can get the best out of us.

It’s always essential for one person to make the people believe in Him so that He dies to save the rest.

The heart of this master in this story seems to be the same as that of our master, Jesus, who could find Gold in our wooden story.

Thanks; we will continue tomorrow for day 2
