《路加福音》Day27
《精明的管家》
1 耶穌又對門徒說：「有一個財主的管家，別人向他主人告他浪費主人的財物。 2 主人叫他來，對他說：『我聽見你這事怎麼樣呢？把你所經管的交代明白，因你不能再作我的管家。』 3 那管家心裏說：『主人辭我，不用我再作管家，我將來做甚麼？鋤地呢？無力；討飯呢？怕羞。 4 我知道怎麼行，好叫人在我不作管家之後，接我到他們家裏去。』 5 於是把欠他主人債的，一個一個地叫了來，問頭一個說：『你欠我主人多少？』 6 他說：『一百簍油。』管家說：『拿你的帳，快坐下，寫五十。』 7 又問一個說：『你欠多少？』他說：『一百石麥子。』管家說：『拿你的帳，寫八十。』 8主人就誇獎這不義的管家做事聰明；因為今世之子，在世事之上，較比光明之子更加聰明。 9 我又告訴你們，要藉著那不義的錢財結交朋友，到了錢財無用的時候，他們可以接你們到永存的帳幕裏去。 10 人在最小的事上忠心，在大事上也忠心；在最小的事上不義，在大事上也不義。 11 倘若你們在不義的錢財上不忠心，誰還把那真實的錢財託付你們呢？ 12 倘若你們在別人的東西上不忠心，誰還把你們自己的東西給你們呢？ 13 一個僕人不能事奉兩個主；不是惡這個愛那個，就是重這個輕那個。你們不能又事奉神，又事奉瑪門。」
14 法利賽人是貪愛錢財的；他們聽見這一切話，就嗤笑耶穌。 15 耶穌對他們說：「你們是在人面前自稱為義的，你們的心，神卻知道；因為人所尊貴的，是神看為可憎惡的。 16 律法和先知到約翰為止，從此神國的福音傳開了，人人努力要進去。 17 天地廢去較比律法的一點一畫落空還容易。 18 凡休妻另娶的就是犯姦淫；娶被休之妻的也是犯姦淫。」(路加福音十六1-18)
1 Jesus told His disciples: “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. 2 So he called him in and asked him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.’ 3 “The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I’m not strong enough to dig, and I’m ashamed to beg— 4 I know what I’ll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.’ 5 “So he called in each one of his master’s debtors. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ 6 “‘Nine hundred gallons of olive oil,’ he replied. “The manager told him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred and fifty.’ 7 “Then he asked the second, ‘And how much do you owe?’ “‘A thousand bushels of wheat,’ he replied. “He told him, ‘Take your bill and make it eight hundred.’ 8 “The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light. 9 I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. 10 “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. 11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? 12 And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own? 13 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
14 The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus. 15 He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.
16 “The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing their way into it. 17 It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law. 18 “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. (Luke 16:1-18)

分享【為永恆作準備】
《路加福音》進入第十六章，主耶穌向門徒講述了一個看似難以理解的比喻：一位管家被指控浪費主人的財物，面臨被撤職的危機。這位精明的管家意識到自己的將來，便主動減免主人債戶的債務，為自己建立人情與出路。然而，主人知道後，不但沒有責備他，反而稱讚他做事聰明。
主耶穌使用這個比喻，重點不在於其減債行為的不義與否，反而肯定其對未來的敏銳與預備：管家知道危機將至，便立刻行動，用暫時的資源為將來鋪路。正因如此，耶穌進一步指出：人若在小事 (今世的錢財) 上忠心，便能在大事 (永恆的事) 上被託付。錢財的運用，正是人心的試驗，顯明一個人是否真正可靠。
因此，整段經文的鑰節落於：「一個僕人不能事奉兩個主；不是惡這個愛那個，就是重這個輕那個。你們不能又事奉神，又事奉瑪門。」(十六13) 錢財不只是工具，更是一個會與神爭奪人心的「主」。耶穌藉此提醒我們，不要被今生短暫的資源所控制，而是學習將它們投資在永恆的事上。
【釋經亮點】
管家神學 (Stewardship Theology) 是理解這段經文的重要關鍵。人並不是生命、時間與財物的擁有者，而是神所託付的管家。我們終有一天要向神交帳，因此問題不在於擁有多少，而是如何管理神所托付的。
在《路加福音》十六章精明的管家比喻中，管家面對交帳的危機，反而顯出一種對未來的警醒與行動力。這提醒我們：我們同樣正活在一個「將要交帳」的人生中。神作為主人，祂恩典的眼光不局限於債務是否收回 (可別忘了，我們都欠著神的債)，而是我們是否懂得用短暫的資源去回應永恆的價值。小事的忠心，帶來大事的託付；地上的忠心，引向屬天的賞賜。
因此，真正的問題不是我們有沒有資源，而是我們是否以神為主，忠心地運用祂所交託的一切，為永恆而活。
反思：我有沒有為永恆作準備的意識？我所擁有的資源，是為自己，還是為神而用？
禱告：親愛的主耶穌，感謝祢將生命、時間與資源託付給我，讓我成為祢的管家。求祢賜我智慧，使我懂得運用祢所給的一切，不只是為自己打算，而是為祢的國度、為永恆作準備。又求祢幫助我在小事上忠心，在每一天的生活中學習順服祢，不讓瑪門成為我的主，而是單單事奉祢、依靠祢。奉主名求，阿們。
