路加福音 16:2 CUNPTS

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 16:2

Luke 16:2 We are God's stewards our whole life long: each day of our lives, therefore, claims its own account; each year, as it passes, suggests to us naturally such reflections, since we reckon our life by years. To many thoughtful men their own birthdays have been days of solemn self-examination. To many, the last day of the civil year brings a like reminder. Indeed, popular language recognises in it something of this power. I. While our life is full of vigour, such anniversaries, however,... read more

Luke 16:1 . A certain rich man had a steward accused that he had wasted his goods. After the parable of the prodigal son, we have a second, of a prodigal steward, who had wasted his lord’s property. The spirit of the parable is, that we should so live in equity with men and in piety towards God, as to ensure the rewards and the gift of righteousness in the life to come. Luke 16:2 . Give an account of thy stewardship. The steward, being now overtaken with poverty, had recourse to the... read more
