Jesus: The Shrewd Manager

Bible Ref.: Luke 16:1-18

The bible is full of great, heart warming stories from Jesus.  There’s the story of the little cute lost sheep, and the one about the father and son embracing after the son was lost to his perilous ways. And don’t forget the tear-jerking story about the scandal in the work place.  Wait, that doesn’t fit.  Or does it?

We find in Luke chapter 16 a story told by Jesus that is different than any other story.  A story of scandal, dishonesty and superior intellect.  The question is, how does Jesus plan on using such a questionable story to communicate a Godly truth?  Can it be done?
