Repentance Brings True Change
Luke 16:5 “So he called every one of his master’s debtors to him, and said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ 6“And he said, ‘A hundred measuresfn of oil.’ So he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’ 7“Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ So he said, ‘A hundred measuresfn of wheat.’ And he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.
So the once wasteful manager seems to be making things worse for his own gain. What a snake? But that would be an assessment out of emotions on our part. Look what is really taking place. He is turning course and repositioning himself for his future while at the same time bringing blessing into his ex boss's home. It's not a stretch to say that he was over charging customers and cooking the books. When he slashed the debt and received immediate payment, his boss actually would get the actual value and possibly more. I know this because of the boss's response to his action.
This is the meat of this parable. When the Lord calls us out of our sin, there will be true change of course. We no longer seek to waste our time, talent, & treasure, but use it to the fullest because we are heading now to heaven.
We wont take anything with us but we sure can send it ahead! I can't wait to see how my Lord has turned this earthly junk into heavenly treasures.
Can you see how God has redirected your heart with your time, talents, & treasure since being born again?
