Blaming the Wrong Person (Luke 16:1-16)

But here, I would like to suggest that Jesus isn’t just talking about people with money. He’s talking about the systems of domination, exploitation, and violence that keep money in the hands of the powerful and out of the "grabby" hands of the perpetually unsatisfied poor—because they’re always complaining about how they don’t have enough to eat or find shelter.

But Jesus turns that whole way of conceiving the world on its head. He winds up celebrating Robin Hood and trashing the Sheriff of Nottingham.
