Parable of the Shrewd Manager
Jesus tells a story about a rich man who had a manager overseeing his affairs. The manager was accused of wasting his employer's possessions. Knowing he would soon lose his job, the manager decided to act shrewdly. He called in each of his master's debtors and reduced the amount they owed, thus gaining favor with them.
When the master learned about the manager's actions, he commended him for his shrewdness, though not for his dishonesty. Jesus then draws a lesson from the parable, stating that the people of this world are often shrewder in dealing with their kind than are the people of the light. He advises His disciples to use worldly wealth to gain friends for themselves so that they will be welcomed into eternal dwellings when it is gone.

About this Plan
Jesus was a master storyteller. He knew that the timeless principles He was trying to articulate would be best remembered through storytelling. He often spoke through parables to (1) communicate a more profound truth, (2) make His teachings more accessible to those who were ready to hear them, and (3) confound those who refused to listen. Parables were shaped to convey a single thought, so don't get lost in the details wondering what each part means. Absorb the story and allow Jesus to communicate His truth to your heart.
