Continuing our series of sermons, “Lessons from the Road,” based on Luke 14-19, in today’s scripture Jesus tells a parable about the manager for a rich man. This manager had been “squandering his property,” so the rich man called him in to fire him. The manager, in a move to save himself, made quick deals with the rich man’s debtors. As a result, the rich man praised the manager for being shrewd. Is Jesus telling his followers that being shrewd is a good thing?
