I was reading the Holy Gospel, Luke:16:1-12, and became very confused. It made no sense in its wording and what God is saying?

The message of this Scripture is that one must be kind, fair, just, and wise, whether one is in a position of authority or stewardship. Everyone is accountable. The crux of this passage is in the last two verses: "He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in what is another man's, who will give you what is your own?" (Luke 16:10-12).
