Luke 16:10-12 Part 2 of 2

"If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won't be honest with greater responsibilities. And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven? And if you are not faithful with other people's things, why should you be trusted with things of your own?"

"And if you are not faithful with other people's things, why should you be trusted with things of your own?"

I was afraid because you are a hard man to deal with, taking what isn't yours and harvesting crops you didn't plant.'  'You wicked servant!' the king roared. 'Your own words condemn you. If you knew that I'm a hard man who takes what isn't mine and harvests crops I didn't plant, why didn't you deposit my money in the bank? At least I could have gotten some interest on it.' " (see verses 11-27)
