Trinity Pulpit

This parable is usually called the Unjust Steward, but that is simply incorrect. This poor steward was the victim of gossip and lost his job because of it. Still, he managed to make friends before he left not by cheating his master, but by simply getting repayment minus the profit margin. He was so clever, the boss congratulated him and may even have reinstated him! Jesus uses this to show we need to use our financial resources to make friends with the world by making converts of them. This most-misunderstood parable is clear in this sermon. Gossip is an evil thing flowing from the mouths of little, pitiful people who feel poorly about themselves and attempt to raise themselves by belittling others. How sad these people are and, yet, so many people fall for their dirty work!
