This is just the way the world works.

Everybody's relatively corrupt.

They're all part of how the system works.

You secure your future any way you can.

And the people who are part of the system

even are prone to commend the shrewdness

and conniving of a clever person.

Welcome to Grace To You with John MacArthur.

I'm your host, Phil Johnson.

The parables of a good Samaritan, the rich fool, the great banquet.

Jesus frequently used stories like those to expose self-righteousness

and to shatter the false hopes of religious leaders.

And mainly what you can learn from those stories

are the bad examples, the kind you should not follow.

But in today's lesson on Grace To You,

John MacArthur looks at a parable where

Christ actually seems to praise a greedy, dishonest, unrighteous man.

What lesson would Jesus want you to learn from that example?

Find out now, turn to Luke chapter 16 and follow along as John considers

the parable of the unrighteous steward.

Part of his series titled Stories with Purpose.

Let me encourage you to come to Luke 16.
