I read Luke 16 before but I suppose I never gave it much thought until now. What does it mean? I have checked out a few commentaries but they don't seem to really explain it well in my opinion.
I struggle with the following two statements:
1. Luk 16:8 The master commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light.
2. Luk 16:9 And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings.
It seems like he is comparing and contrasting the principles of the world to the principles of the kingdom of God. Curious to know how others have interpreted this passage.
Also, what is your favorite commentary on Luke?
Thanks!
