0:00.0	Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.
0:07.0	Jesus opens today by telling his disciples a parable, but apparently the Pharisees are
0:17.4	still in the crowd listening. In my opinion, this is one of his most confusing
0:21.4	parables, in part because of his use of irony.
0:24.2	A rich man's household manager has slacked on collecting money people owe his boss.
0:28.8	He gets fired, but his pride and entitlement motivate him to action.
0:32.8	He hustles in a last-ditch effort to reclaim his job,
0:35.8	and he manages to collect most of the money.
0:38.3	Being fair to the boss isn't his goal, but it all works out in his favor.
0:42.3	Jesus calls him shrewd.
0:44.0	The word shrewd in itself isn't good or bad, but the tone of the
0:47.5	parable seems to convey that Jesus isn't on board with his methods.
0:50.7	He uses this guy as an illustration, showing how the worldly are wiser in worldly
0:55.2	matters than the disciples are in eternal matters. He wants them to wise up. And this is where Jesus
1:00.4	inserts some irony. In verse 9, it seems like he's saying,
1:04.4	this guy is so concerned about being welcomed into people's homes that he's willing to be
1:08.2	dishonest. If you attempt that with my eternal dwelling place, you will fail. No amount of wealth or shrewdness can get you there.
1:16.4	Jesus implores them to value true things, eternal things. True riches are eternal riches.
1:25.0	Jesus reiterates the point by saying, you can either be a slave to your bank account
1:27.0	or you can be a slave to God, but you can't be both.
1:30.0	Money is a non-issue in the kingdom.
1:32.0	Setting your hopes on it is an affront to God.
