“And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings.”

In Luke 16, Jesus shares the intriguing Parable of the Dishonest Manager, a story that challenges conventional thinking and provokes deep reflection. All of the characters are bad, and it centers around a manager who, upon facing firing, cleverly reduces the debts of his master's debtors to secure his own future. Surprisingly, Jesus points to this dishonest manager as an example, not for his unethical actions, but for his shrewdness in planning for the future. It’s a parable that makes you think about what’s really important to you, and whether your decisions and actions actually line up with your values.
