532nd Post Jesus Said Concerning Parables Con't. - The Clever But Evil Steward Con't. 4th post - Luke 16: 1 - 13.

Luke 16: 1 - 13 The Parable of the Clever But Evil Steward Continued 4th post.
So far, believers and non-believers would act in this same way.  It is here you need to remind yourself that Jesus is speaking on the topic of Repentance or Perish.  With this in mind we will start looking at the rest of this parable.  Jesus was speaking to both Pharisees and Common folk, during this discourse started in Luke chapter 13.  The Parable of the "Rich Man and Lazarus" is this same lesson aimed at the Pharisees in His audience.  I will refer back to this parable when discussing the "Rich Man and Lazarus" parable.  So far in our story there has been no mention of confrontation, this is required for us to realize, that on our own we are on a one way road to hell.  There is no help for us.  Jesus has been talking about the confrontation since Luke chapter 13.  We will not seek God, unless we know that we are completely sinful with out God's help.  When you realize this, you are on the road to repentance.  Unfortunately, it requires more than just knowing you need help, you must do something about it.  I have run out of room again so will continue next post.
