Gen Z: Luke 16
1So, Jesus was like, "Yo, there was this rich dude with a manager, and peeps were saying he was wasting all his stuff. Savage."
2He hit up the manager and was like, "What's the tea? I’m hearing some sus stuff about you. Show me your receipts, fam; you're about to be out."
3The manager was thinking, "What do I do? My boss is snatching my gig, and I can’t dig; begging is not my vibe."
4He was like, "Bet, I know what to do so that when I’m out, I’ll have peeps to crash with."
5So, he called up all his boss’s debtors and asked the first one, "How much do you owe my boss?"
6Dude was like, "A hundred jars of oil." The manager said, "Bet, take your bill, sit down quick, and write fifty."
7Then he asked another, "And you, how much do you owe?" The guy said, "A hundred bags of wheat." He said, "Cool, take your bill and write eighty."
8The boss was low-key impressed with the shady manager because he was slick: the people of this world are way smarter than the kids of light.
9And I’m telling you, make friends with the cash of the shady stuff, so when you’re in a pinch, they got your back for life.
10If you’re loyal with the little things, you’ll be loyal with the big stuff too; but if you’re sketchy with the small, you’ll be sketchy with the large.
11If you ain't loyal with the cash that ain't yours, who’s gonna trust you with the real blessings?
12And if you can't handle what belongs to someone else, how you gonna get your own stuff?
13No one can roll with two bosses: you'll either vibe with one and ghost the other, or vice versa. You can't serve God and money, no cap.
14The Pharisees, who were all about that greed, peeped what he said and clowned him.
15He told them, "You flex on people to look good, but God knows what's really in your hearts; what’s lit to you is sus to Him."
16The law and prophets were a thing until John; now the kingdom of God is the vibe, and everyone’s trying to get in.
17It’s easier for heaven and earth to dip than for even a tiny part of the law to go away.
18Whoever kicks their wife to marry someone else is being savage; and if you marry someone who got dumped, that’s also wild.
19There was this rich dude, dripped in purple and fine threads, living large every single day.
20And there was this beggar named Lazarus, chilling at his gate, totally wrecked with sores.
21Dude just wanted the scraps from the rich guy’s table, and even the dogs were vibing with his sores.
22Then it happened, the beggar passed away, and angels took him to chill with Abraham; the rich dude also kicked the bucket and got buried.
23In the underworld, he looked up, feeling all the pain, and saw Abraham way over there, with Lazarus chilling in his lap.
24He yelled, “Yo, Abraham, show me some mercy! Send Lazarus to just dip his finger in water to cool my tongue; I’m straight-up tormented in this fire.”
25Abraham was like, “Bruh, remember when you were living it up? You got your good stuff, and Lazarus had it rough; now he’s vibing, and you’re stuck in pain.”
26Plus, there’s a huge gap between us and you, so nobody can slide over here or you guys can’t come over there.
27Then he was like, “Please, Father, send him to my fam’s crib.”
28“I got five bros; let him warn them, so they don’t end up in this mess too.”
29Abraham replied, “They’ve got Moses and the prophets; let them listen to those guys.”
30He said, “Nah, Father Abraham; if someone comes back from the dead, they’ll totally change their ways.”
31He’s like, “If they don’t vibe with Moses and the prophets, they’re not gonna believe even if someone came back from the dead. No cap.”
