This is a parable Jesus told. I copied and pasted it so you don't have to look it up. " 16 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. 2 So he called him and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward. 3 “Then the steward said within himself, ‘What shall I do? For my master is taking the stewardship away from me. I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg. 4 I have resolved what to do, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. 5 “So he called every one of his master’s debtors to him, and said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ 6 And he said, ‘A hundred measures[a] of oil.’ So he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’ 7 Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ So he said, ‘A hundred measures[b] of wheat.’ And he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’ 8 So the master commended the unjust steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light." (NKJV) I checked about 6 different translations and they all end with "sons of the light". I didn't look up any commentaries. I might have to but I wanted to see what the members here think. What does Jesus mean by sons of the light? I guess He means honest people, people who will eventually get to heaven. If so, then again Jesus is saying life is going to be harder for us than those who won't get eternal life. Maybe I'm wrong, I am sleepy. Anyone want to give an opinion?
