Jesus’ Parables About Money
Financial planning is a growing profession. As life spans lengthen because of advances in health care, many will seek counsel to plan for future needs and to manage against the likelihood of shrinking resources.
The best financial plan, however, can fail for lack of the kind of wisdom found in Jesus' parables about money. Apart from an understanding of the values our hearts were made for, all of our efforts to provide for the future will ultimately fail.
In this excerpt of The Parables: Understanding What Jesus Meant, Discovery House author Gary Inrig looks at the teaching of Jesus in three stories about money. We may need other financial planners to help us anticipate tax breaks and retirement benefits, but we will never find anyone with more wisdom and concern for our own well-being than Jesus, our Divine Planner.
