不义的管家不义的管家:精明与忠心的属灵功课不义的管家

各位弟兄姊妹,今天我们透过《路加福音》16:1-13“不义的管家”的故事,思考一个核心问题:耶稣到底在称赞什么、批评什么?又给我们哪些当下可实践的启示?

先回顾故事核心:一个财主的管家因浪费财物被解雇,他为后路盘算,擅自减免债户的欠款,让债户感激自己。财主知道后,竟称赞他“做事精明”。很多人会困惑:耶稣是在肯定他的不义吗?当然不是。

耶稣的态度很明确:批评他的不义品格,称赞他的精明规划。这管家的“不义”在于他辜负主人托付,滥用职权损主利己,这是绝对要否定的;但他面对危机时不慌乱、主动为未来布局的“精明”,却值得我们反思——耶稣说“今世之子在世事之上,较比光明之子更加精明”,就是在提醒我们:世人能用智慧为今生筹算,我们岂不更该用智慧为永恒预备?

这对我们有三个实实在在的启示,也是今天要践行的功课:

第一,认清身份:我们都是神的管家,而非主人。我们手中的金钱、时间、恩赐,甚至家庭、工作,都不是自己的,而是神托付的“财物”。就像故事中的管家要向主人交账,我们终有一天也要向神交账。这就要求我们在小事上忠心,不浪费、不滥用神给的资源——比如不随意挥霍金钱,不荒废时间在无意义的事上。

第二,转变精明:从为今生筹算,转为为永恒积蓄。耶稣不是叫我们学管家的不义手段,而是学他“为未来筹划”的意识。世人用金钱结交世俗朋友,我们要用神给的资源结永恒的朋友——比如帮助有需要的人、支持福音事工、陪伴软弱的弟兄姊妹。这些用爱心付出的事,会成为我们在天上的财宝,是金钱带不走的。

第三,坚守抉择:单要事奉神,不要事奉玛门。耶稣最后提醒:“一个仆人不能事奉两个主”。我们很容易在物质中迷失,把赚钱、享受当成人生目标。但真正的满足,永远不在钱财里,而在与神的亲密关系中。当我们把神放在第一位,用祂的标准管理所有资源,就不会被物质捆绑。

最后,我们一起祷告:主啊,求你赐我们属灵的智慧,让我们认清管家的身份,在小事上忠心,用你的资源为永恒积蓄,单单事奉你。祷告奉主耶稣的名,阿们!
