Eternal Economics

 

I love reading & pondering the parables of Jesus. His stories, and the lessons we draw from them, have no rivals. One of his most fascinating stories is found in Luke 16. It’s the story of a man who used another man’s resources to prepare a place for himself after his position was terminated. Jesus observed that worldly money managers leverage assets for the future better than God’s people. Now be careful! Jesus never taught anyone to be dishonest. Instead, He taught we too should use resources entrusted to us, but with an eternal mindset.  When we enter the presence of God, is it possible we could be greeted by those for whom our generosity provided an opportunity for them to learn of our Savior? Is this what Jesus was saying? Come this weekend, and we’ll consider giving with eternity in mind.
