For this work of Jesus, your heavenly Father commends him for His wisdom, shrewdness. By unjustly dying, rising, and giving the wealth of the Father to those who do not deserve forgiveness, He has won for the Father friends, you, to dwell with Him in the eternal tabernacles. Indeed, while from your perspective you owe your God a great debt, but from His perspective He has forgiven them all completely and fully. And His forgiveness is far greater than the opposite of the unjust steward. He has not forgiven only 20 percent or 50 percent of our debts to Him. But by in utter worldly wastefulness (or Godly forgiveness), He has removed the entire wage for your sin. Balance owed? Zero. Merit needed? Nothing. Worthiness to work on? Zip.
It’s James and John, not John and James, the sons of Zebedee. Every family, every congregation, every state, and indeed, all human relationships are defined by hierarchy. It’s an inescapable part of life. There are greater and there are lesser. Some serve and others are served. Some rule and others are ruled. Some work and others enjoy leisure. Some are wealthy and some are poor. It is not humanly possible that all people have equality of status, reputation, income, or occupation. While it is possible to treat all people as equals, it is not possible for all people to enjoy equality in every aspect of life. That’s a utopian pipe dream!
