Kingdom Economics
One of the most scandalous economic stories in the Gospels is the teaching in
today’s parable. A manager is about to get fired by the CEO because he has
not made the highest profit. But is Jesus really condoning using money to buy
friends and stealing from employers?! What is the manager doing? He is
telling his debtors to falsify their bills so that they can be free from their debt.
Some owe huge amounts. The manager is using the position he is in to
recklessly release people from debt, to even up the tables. This will of course
win him everlasting friends, their hearts and minds.
The manager is praised for his astuteness, he has his priorities straight, he is
happy to let debt go, to redistribute the load. Ok there is still some self-interest
there but Jesus is telling us that the only value the money really has is in the
way it is disposed of – to make friends with the poor. The manager won’t be
the most successful man on the planet compared to the ‘children of light’ who
are more concerned with accounts than with real people. He can be trusted to
value what is really important. Yes, he is a bit of a scoundrel, but Jesus liked
scoundrels, once their efforts were put to good use.
