Bible Video Of The Day! Also available on “Divine TV” ~ South Goa @ 7.00 pm Friday 8th November 2013 “...The master commended the dishonest steward for his astuteness. For the children of the world are more astute in dealing with their own kind than are the children of light.” REFLECTION The text of today contains a parable found only in the Gospel of Luke and which is often titled as the Parable of the Dishonest Steward. By the reduction of the debts of his Master’s debtors, the steward gains their favour. This will stand him in good stead in the future. It is not clear whether the steward acted dishonestly through this action, because some presume that he was foregoing his own commission or acting righteously by excluding the interest prohibited by Deut 23:19-20. Despite this, however, most prefer the interpretation that the steward continued to be dishonest and arbitrarily reduced the amounts of the debts. The point of the parable is not so much honesty or dishonesty, but a call to cast caution aside, seize the opportunity and make provision for the future before God. The kingdom is here. If you were told that you have only one more day before the Lord called you to himself, what three decisions would you make? ~ Luke 16:1-8
