This chapter begins with a strange story in which Jesus seems to be saying dishonesty is a good thing. What he is really saying is that this dishonest man was smart enough to prepare for his future, while many good people fail to prepare for eternity. An illustration of this can be found in the story of the rich man and Lazarus. The rich man makes himself comfortable now and ignores eternity, while Lazarus does the opposite.
So what is your eternity going to look like: separation from God, barely making it in or are lots of people going to tell stories of how you invested your energy in eternity?
