Faithful in Little and Much
OUR EARTHLY LIFE INFLUENCES
OUR LIFE TO COME
Scripture—Luke 16:1-17; 17 ;1-19,
By B. H. RAMSEY
EVIDENCE of our Lord’s in
terest in the everyday happen
ings of men's lives and the im
portance He attached to what
men do with their material pos
sessions is shown by the fact
that more of His parables are
based upon the uses of property
and money than any other as
pect of man’s daily life.
Today’s lesson begins with the
parable of an unfaitthful stew
ard. The steward apparently
possessed some flair for busi
ness, else he would not have held
such a responsible position. Thus
his extravagances were not the
Tesult of ignorance or incapa
bility; rather they resulted from
carelessness and unfaithfulness
to his master’s trust.
Nowhere does it say the stew
ard stole anything. Perhaps he
spent more than he should, was
careless about gathering in the
crops or paid more than neces
sary for the estate’s mainten
ance and improvement, for by
the end of the year he could
■show, no profit. Informed of the
steward’s wastefulness, the mas
ter told him to balance his
books, straighten out his affairs
and leave.
withdrawn at any moment. Hea
venly riches, on the other hand,
are immense, real and eternally
secure.
Jesus said no man can serve
two masters, God and money.
When the Pharisees scoffed at
this, Jesus- rebuked them. In
general, they were outwardly
righteous; inwardly were greedy
and covetous, doing almost any
thing to acquire wealth and es
teem. This, He said, was an
abomination in the sight of God.
And those who live solely and
selfishly for wealth will come
to a tragic end in the life here
after, as illustrated by the par
able of the rich man and Laza
rus.
In the opening of the 17th
chapter Jesus lays down four
basic truths which true be
lievers must never forget. He
warns of the greater woe which
awaits those believers who, by
their words or deeds, cause
others to fall into sin. He
charges all believers with, the
obligation to forgive over and
over those who sin against us
and repent of it. He reminds us
to have faith, vital, living, holy
faith, however small, even as a
grain of mustard seed, and it

i The truths Jesus tried to il

are to be true servants of God,
we are to live lives of service to
Him through our fellowmen. We
are to repay evil with good, giv
ing gladly more than we receive
or hope to receive, without
thoughts of incurring another’s
thanks or gratitude. Thus, the
first ten verses of the chapter
offer the sum and substance of
a Christian’s duty.
The story of Christ’s miracu
lous healing of the ten lepers
offers graphic illustration of our
Lord’s conception of doing one’s
duty without expecting thanks.
On His way to Jerusalem Jesus
encountered ten lepers who beg
ged Him to heal them. He did
and, according to Levitical law,
sent them to the priests to be
officially pronounced clean.
They set off, as directed, but
one—a Samaritan—turned back
in the fullness of a grateful
heart to give glory to God and
thanks to his Healer. Jesus re
marked on the fact that only
one out of the ten turned back
to thank Him and rewarded him
by pronouncing him spiritually
whole and renewed, in addition
to his physical restoration.
