This is a difficult passage. There are knots in it which perhaps will never be untied until the Lord comes again. We might reasonably expect that because the Bible was written through inspiration, it would have some things in it that are hard to understand. The fault is not in the book but in our own feeble understanding. If we learn nothing else from the passage before us, let us learn humility. 1. Do not draw lessons which are not taught Let us beware,
Luke 16:1–12
