Luke 16:1-13

Luke 16 is the parable of a dishonest manager who steals from his master.  He is then praised for being clever and self-preserving.  How can Jesus praise a man for being a dishonest manager?

The scandal of this parable is the mercy of the Rich Man.  He does not give the punishment that his dishonest manager deserves.  It is surprising and scandalous.  Listen in as we explore what Jesus said to the first century audience and what Jesus might be saying to us today.
