This is the reading from Luke 16 in our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Good News of Great Joy reading guide⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Luke 16 challenges us to consider how we use our earthly resources and prepare for eternity. As we anticipate Christ’s coming during Advent, let us reflect on what it means to be faithful stewards of the time, possessions, and relationships God has entrusted to us. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus reminds us to care for others and focus on what has eternal value rather than fleeting wealth.

This Advent season, may we strive to serve God wholeheartedly, using what He has given us to glorify Him and bless others. Let us also take comfort in the assurance that Christ’s Kingdom offers lasting joy and reward for those who remain faithful.
