The parable of the Shrewd Manager teaches us the principles that Jesus wants us to use regarding our possessions. In this episode Vanessa Brown uses the three main characters of the parable to explain how wealth and possessions are obtained. She then discusses the role of the manager of the possessions which belong to God. The debtors are those who are in bondage and can only be set free with the assistance of those who have the power and authority to help reduce or remove their debts. Jesus commends the shrewd manager for his ability to come up with a plan to put him in a better place in his future. Like the shrewd manager, we are expected to use our possessions to make friends and increase those who belong to our master.
