PARABLES OF JESUS – Accusations
Luke 16:1-2a
"He also said to His disciples: 'There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and an accusation was brought to him that this man was wasting his goods. So he called him and said to him, "What is this I hear about you?" ' "
Accusations are easy to come by because we live in a world under the jurisdiction of Satan, the liar, who the accuser (Revelation 12:10). Just because an accusation is made does not meant that it is true. It may be true or it may be false. The rich man was wise in that he called the steward in to let him explain or to defend himself. Confrontation is difficult, but when accusations are made, the best way to handle them is to go directly to the accused. In our judicial system the accuser is required to face the accused in court where the evidence is presented. I need to be careful not to automatically believe every accusation until the accused has had a chance to respond to the accusation.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: Wisdom says to not believe every accusation we hear until we speak to the accused.
Have a wise day. Love you.
