Lessons from this parable:

• Be firm in your relationships.

• Be a person of integrity.

• Be prepared for your heavenly future.

• Be generous with your wealth.

Here’s the truth.

• There is much to be gained in heaven.

• Your faithfulness to His mission here will have a bearing on what you gain there.

• How you spend your paycheck here will dictate what you will have there.

• You can only have one master.

Main Point: Believers can be less concerned about preparing for their eternal future than unbelievers are about preparing for their temporary one.
