He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in what is another man’s, who will give you what is your own? (Luke 16:10-12)

How important is our money, material things, and our day-to-day practical life? It’s far more important than we usually think.

Jesus told us, he who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much. In these words of Jesus, money and material things are considered among the least of things. Ultimately, our bank accounts and possessions don’t matter much. But how we manage and use those bank accounts and possessions matters a lot.

Jesus told us that if a person cannot be faithful in managing their money and material things – the things that are least – then they should not be trusted to be faithful in handling the things that are much, the things that are really important.

If someone is false and unfaithful in everyday life, it doesn’t matter if they know how to say spiritual words and project a Christian image. Their unfaithfulness in everyday life shows them to be false and unfaithful in the spiritual life, and no one should entrust them with true riches (spiritual riches).

Jesus applied the principle with this question: If you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? In this sense, those who are leaders among God’s people must be good managers of their own money. If a person can’t be faithful before God with the money granted by. God, how can they be faithful with the care of people they should shepherd?

This certainly does not mean that leaders in the church must be wealthy or make a lot of money. It is an issue of how they manage the resources God has given to them, not how great their resources are.

Unfortunately, when it comes to the question who will commit to your trust the true riches, far too many Christians are willing to entrust their spiritual care to a person who can’t even care for the things of unrighteous mammon.

Jesus continued His application by warning those who have not been faithful in what is another man’s. Jesus seems to refer to the fact that all our bank accounts and material possessions belong to God, and we must be careful that we are managing His resources well. When we manage them faithfully, God will bless what we have (who will give you what is your own).

It is challenging but true: we can often measure the strength and integrity of what is spiritual by looking at the strength and integrity of the material. If you really follow Jesus, you will diligently manage well what He has blessed you with. (Guzik)

 

2 Timothy 1:7 For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

Luke 1:18-20 And Zechariah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” And the angel answered him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news. And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.”

Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
