The Parable of the Dishonest Manager is one of the most difficult passages in the Bible: but often the simplest reading is the right one. Jesus' teaching on worldly wealth is never easy because He pulls no punches. Here Jesus tells us that we should be ashamed of how the world uses its wealth to seek after temporary happiness with greater skill and zeal than we do our eternal joy. The answer given is to serve God first, above all else, through generosity and faithfulness.
