Eternally Shrewd Part 2 – Luke 16:10
What does it mean to be faithful to Jesus?
“One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.” Luke 16:10 ESV
I memorized this verse or made a mental note of this verse without considering its context. When I look at what Jesus said right before this and right after it, my eyes are opened a bit more.

Eternally Shrewd – Luke 16:9
How shrewd are you with finances? How do we make the most of our resources?
“And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings.” Luke 16:9 ESV
Notice how this guy was commended for stealing from the master to make friends for himself. Why would Jesus tell a story where this guy comes out ahead?

The Father Ran – Luke 15:20
What do you do when you’re joyfully surprised?
“And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.” Luke 15:20 ESV
Elder heads of families didn’t run in Jesus time. Running is what the immature and the afraid would do. In this parable, the father saw his lost son coming back home.

Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. (Isaiah 43:19, ESV)
God is doing a new thing. Everywhere we look, the markers of what he is doing are evident, and we are blessed to have a front row seat.
Coming to Our Senses – Luke 15:17
Do you ever experience times when you know you’re not thinking right?
In the story of the prodigal son, the younger son asks for his inheritance and splits. Then he blows the whole thing and ends up with a terrible job, starving. The whole story turns on this verse.
“When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired workers have more than enough food, and here I am dying of hunger!” Luke 15:17 CSB
Is there an area of your life where you sense God wants you to come to your senses?

Why Repent? – Luke 13:5
What does Jesus mean when he tells us to repent?
“No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” Luke 13:5 ESV
The Jewish people were hung up on acting correctly. For hundreds of years, they concentrated on doing the right things the right way. In the middle of an interaction with a group of people, someone asks Jesus about some Jews who were killed and their blood was mixed in with the sacrifices.

Ashamed of Jesus – Luke 9:26
Who do you want to win the big game?
“For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.” Luke 9:26 ESV
I hope this isn’t a one-time thing. In my past, I’ve missed opportunities to tell others about Jesus. Fortunately, Jesus paid for my mistakes.

Gaining Life – Luke 9:25
What is your net worth?
“For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?” Luke 9:25 ESV
One of the recurring questions I experience in life is what would happen if I gave more of my stuff to help others. I use the phrase “my stuff” because I grew up in the days of George Carlin. Our “stuff” is a reference to our possessions, our riches, our things.
