More shrewd than sons of light?
These two verses have me puzzled.
Being shrewd with unrighteous wealth gets you invited to eternal dwellings? And why would the Master praise his manager for short-changing his accounts?
From a survival of the fittest mentality, he made a smart move, looking out for his own interests at the expense of his master... But, is that the moral of the story? I thought this was about management - being responsible with what we've been given.
Perhaps I am putting too much emphasis on the use of the word 'unrighteous' - reading it to mean evil, when I should just read it as 'worldly.' That still doesn't solve the problem between the master and manager. I still think he (the manager) compromised the eternal for a more immediate/temporal payout.
Did the master then keep this guy on staff as his manager? Or, did he still fire him?
