A Certain Rich Man Had a Steward
Luke 16:1-8
And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward…


We learn here incidentally, how evenly balanced are the various conditions of life in a community, and how little of substantial advantage wealth can confer on its possessor. As your property increases, your personal control over it diminishes; the more you possess, the more you must entrust to others. Those who do their own work are not troubled with disobedient servants; those who look after their own affairs are not troubled with unfaithful overseers.

(W. Arnot.)
