I am soooo Blessed! I am currently reading Luke and just read this parable last night. Confused and not entirely sure of what Jesus was saying to me, I prayed for clarity and wisdom. How Awesome is He that this video “popped up” on my recommended list! Although revealing to me that I have fallen short of managing wisely, the divine clarity of what I just watched has ignited a spark. Thank you Lord Jesus and thank you sir.

[@bugsocsollie1694]

This parable (along with all of Jesus' parables) are not for the Body of Christ Church members. They are for and about Israel. Keep that in mind, and it's all very easy. It really only gets difficult when we try to apply Israel's doctrine to Paul's doctrine for the Body of Christ Church.

[@GGCGAGSG]

@@bugsocsollie1694 I would contend that although seemingly not Christ’s targeted audience, He uses the Word (yes, even His parables) to speak to His church. If we didn’t believe that, wouldn’t we put our Bibles on a shelf after having read them?

[@bugsocsollie1694]

@@GGCGAGSG After understanding Israel's doctrine and then comparing it to Paul's doctrine for the Body of Christ Church, we see that we have a much better deal than does Israel.

@@bugsocsollie1694 NIV 1984Romans 11:17-21. If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, do not boast over those branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. You will say then,”Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.

The key to this parable is that the steward had a “Fear of the Lord”! Which we all know is the key to the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit and is the foundation of all wisdom! A heathy fear of losing the Lord’s love is what keeps us accountable and not wanting to be separated from God eternally! Many people love Jesus, which is great, but if you do not have a Fear of the Lord you have nothing!❤❤ I teach this to many young people and I pray you too can learn from this! God bless!

We put Christ's blood on our symbolic "door posts" - For it did not matter in the first passover, if a father's hand was shaking, if one thought "Is that enough" OR, one had a change of heart BUT GOT IT DONE. Why is it so hard for people to take a very very costly blood of Jesus Christ and put it on ourselves as a covering!! It did not matter that after doing it for his one year old, he DOUBTED!! Or if he was Certain.. AS long as we realize w/o Christ's blood WE PERISH, and our loved ones cry in agony. Here is a kicker, Even if a father 'lost his mind' and SCRUBBED it off the door post- the fact remains, traces are there, and I believe God Honors any effort. WHAT DO WORKS HAVE TO DO WITH THIS?? NADA!!! Only faith enough to believe it is efficacious. "I WILL SHARE MY GLORY WITH NO MAN! PERIOD BUT I WILL PROVIDE THE BEST NEWS ANY MAN COULD POSSIBLY WANT...And even "we" vcannot mess it up.
