Verse 8 is KEY to understanding this parable. Who are the children of light? They are the followers of Jesus. Jesus is the light of this world. John chapter one verses 4 and 9 explains this. So, the lord speaking here in verse 8 is NOT Jesus! Jesus does not praise the unjust! The Bible says Satan tries to deceive even the elect, One must recognize this when it occurs! Who would say cheating is wise? Remember HELL is an everlasting habitation! There are the followers of God and there are the followers of unrighteous mammon, one can not be both no matter how generous one is with the money. In this example money was stolen and given away so that the people receiving the stolen money might treat the thief as a friend and give him employment. Who would want to hire a thief except people that are unjust and want to steal themselves. In truth, accepting a false reduction in debt is stealing also. They were all thieves, children of darkness. And NO, they are not wiser than children of light! That is a lie and Satan is the father of the lie. Jesus gives the gift of Divine substance that enriches life, the substance of truth, fairness, equity, love, peace and everlasting life.
