vs 1-14 A debt collector found out that he was really close to losing his job. Because his skills lacked in other areas he knew that he should brown nose the potential employers that might higher him after losing his job. So as a debt collector he went around and made deals to cancels their debts if they could make just a portion of the payment. His master commended him for what he did. In our lives we have to earn the trust. We should not feel that we are owed it. When we try to serve two desires one is left lacking trust in the other. Decide who you will serve God or money.
vs 15-18 The law will never change. We are trying to force it to fit our own desires. But it will only deceive ourselves if we think we have any bearing on changing the law to fit ourselves. This is what people have been trying to do with divorce. They are trying to find reasons why it is okay.
vs 19-31 Two people died, one a beggar and the other a rich man. The rich man went to hell and was in a terrible torment. The rich man asked Abraham to have Lazarus come over and dip his hand in the water and touch his tongue with it. He was obviously in a horrible place, we wanted to be cooled by just a drop of water. Since this could not happen the rich man asked Abraham to send Lazarus to warn his brother of this horrible place. Abraham told him if they already do not believe Moses and the Prophets, even someone rising from the dead will not help.
