(First read the Introduction and the first surprise, and the TEXT: Luke 16)The 2nd surprise is that the rich man gives his economist a window for that manager to take advantage of him. Some of you know exactly what I mean by this. Some of you are bosses. If you are about to sack someone and you think that that person is then going to do any damage to your corporation, what do you do? You tell them to be out within the hour, and make no phone calls, and leave the computer right where it is.
Look at V2 – He summons him…
"What is this that I hear about you? Give me an account of your management, because you cannot be my manager any longer."
In the words of the immortal Trump: "You’re fired."
And yet he gives him this window of time. This small amount of time to go away and then come back and give him an account of his management...
What was our rich man thinking he was going to do? Maybe he was hoping he’d fess up and beg for mercy and pay back four times that amount. We’re about to hear about a man like this in the story of Zacchaeus (Luke 19).

You know...I don't know. Maybe he thought that he was going to reform??
Our third surprise...
Tomorrow.

Judd, Maybe he just wasn't all that worried about the damage that the economist could do on the phone? Maybe the Computer super highway makes it alot harder to give people second chances? Maybe like Trump he'd already fired someone that week, and had to wait till next week to get rid of this guy? Who knows, but I'm enjoying what I'm reading, disappointed it's not on tape, I'm finding it difficult to get to church to hear you preach.
