Luke 16

Faithfulness
Jesus is speaking to his disciples on their "Faithfulness" or work-ethic.  And he tells them through a few hypothetical questions, that they should be faithful in a humble position in verse 10.  "He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much." And they would automatically be exalted, in due time, as Luke chapter 14:11 states. "For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted." Matthew tells us to "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which as in heaven." Matt.5:16.  And if we have been faithful to our jobs "the unrighteous mammon" God will commit to our trust His TRUE riches! 16:11

Verse 12 speaks on honesty at work. "And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?" If you squander your company's money and get fired there won't be a paycheck coming on Friday. Also Christians are to be an example to the world. If we don't have a good work-ethic some people might doubt the faithfulness of our God.  So lets all go and shine our lights to the world.
