Luke #3: Eternal Investments
This lesson considers three of Jesus’ parables from the perspective of stewardship. The frequently misunderstood parable of the Unjust Steward tell us to use material goods here on earth faithfully to prepare ourselves for eternity. The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus reveals the fate of a soul who uses worldly riches for his own pleasures rather than for the work of God in blessing others. The Parable of Good Samaritan shows us the opposite. It shows a man who uses worldly wealth to be God’s instrument in the world.
