Weekly Reflection

No Servant Can Serve Two Masters

09-21-2025  |  We Celebrate Worship Resource, Vol. 49, No. 1

The dishonest steward in Jesus' parable is no hero. He does not use the talents he is given to earn more or to forgive the debts of a person in dire straits. No, he discounts the debts of his master's debtors because soon he will be out of a job and looking for help from them.

He is a wily and self-centered manipulator who cannot be trusted with his master's wealth, cannot be trusted with his own wealth, and cannot be trusted with what Jesus calls true wealth. True wealth, as Jesus hints in the final verse, is found in the kingdom of heaven. It is not money, or assets, or the accumulation of material possessions.

In fact, it is neither material nor a possession. True wealth is spiritual; it is a share in what is God's. Jesus himself gives us a model to follow when he places all his "wealth" in the service of others, whether feeding the thousands, healing the sick, or suffering for us all. This is how we serve God, not mammon.

How can you be a prudent steward of your material possessions, aware that true wealth is found in God?

No Hay Criado Que Pueda Servidor a Dos Amos

El mayordomo deshonesto de la parábola de Jesús no es un heroe. No usa los talentos que recibe para ganar mas ni para perdonar las deudas de alguien en apuros. Al contrario, descuenta las deudas de los deudores de su amo porque pronto se quedará sin trabajo y les pedirá ayuda.

Es un manipulador astuto y egocentrico a quien no se le puede confiar la riqueza de su amo, ni la suya propia, ni lo que Jesús llama verdadera riqueza. La verdadera riqueza, como Jesús insinua en el versículo final, se encuentra en el reino de los cielos. No es dinero, ni bienes, ni la acumulación de posesiones materiales.

De hecho, no es material ni una posesión. La verdadera riqueza es espiritual; es una parte de lo que es de Dios. Jesus mismo nos da un modelo a seguir cuando pone toda su riqueza al servicio de los demas, ya sea alimentando a miles, sanando a los enfermos o sufriendo por todos nosotros. Así es como servimos a Dios, no a Mammón.

¿Como podemos ser administradores prudentes de nuestras posesiones materiales, conscientes de que la verdadera riqueza se encuentra en Dios?
