Where Does My Trust Lie?

May 23, 2021 • Grant Romoser-Claunch

In Luke 16 Jesus gives two related parables: The Parable of the Shrewd Manager and the parable of The Rich Man and Lazarus. Both of these stories revolve around money, but are ultimately getting at something deeper: where we place our trust. Jesus is comparing and contrasting two different attitudes towards money because he understands the pull it has, and he uses this to invite us to examine and orient our lives around what should be the sole object of our trust: God and God's Kingdom.
