Confusion in The Parable of the Unjust Steward
Hey everyone,
I was reading the parable of the unjust steward in Luke 16:1-9 and I am really confused. I don't understand the message that Jesus is trying to get across. In verse 8, Jesus says that the unjust steward was commended because he had dealt shrewdly. Does this mean that Jesus wants us to act shrewdly? I'm pretty sure that is not the message because Jesus obviously wants us to be truthful with each other and not trick each other.
Can someone please explain this parable to me?
Thank You and God bless.
