<p>16:11 <i>If therefore you have not been faithful in the handling of worldly riches, who will commit to your trust the true riches?</i>- Lk.16:11,12 draws a parallel between the &quot;true riches&quot; and &quot;that which is your own&quot;; both phrases, in the context, refer to our reward in the Kingdom. The true riches is the spiritual knowledge of God. In Christ are hid all the riches of God. David rejoiced at the truths of the word more than at finding great riches. We can look forward to a highly personal knowledge of God in the Kingdom; the riches of knowledge &quot;which is your own&quot;. This is in the same sense as Rev. 2:17 speaks of each believer receiving a stone with &quot;a new name written, which no man knows saving he that receives it&quot;. No other being will be able to enter into the personal knowledge of God which we will then have; as even in this life, it is scarcely possible to enter into another believer's spirituality and relationship with God. To some degree, the Kingdom will be something different for each of us, although this diversity will be bound together by the great unity of all being the collective bride of Christ, and all manifesting the same God, all having the same &quot;penny a day&quot;.</p><p>If we are faithful with the riches we have been given, <i>then</i> we will be given the true riches of eternal salvation. This &quot;unrighteous mammon&quot; is not our own, it is the wealth of &quot;another man&quot;, i.e. God, just as the steward was dealing with money which was not his but his lord's; whereas in the Kingdom, we will have our very own &quot;true riches&quot;. This is an altogether lovely idea. Whatever we have now is not ours; we come into this world with nothing, and at death we carry nothing out (1 Tim. 6:7). We must give our all if we are to attain the Kingdom.</p><p>If we are faithful in how we use the things lent to us by God in this life, we will be given &quot;the true riches&quot;. What we now have is &quot;the Truth&quot;, because this is how the Spirit speaks of it. But Truth is relative, and the Truth God wants us to accept as Truth is doubtless designed by Him to be acceptable by mere mortals. But it isn't &quot;the true riches&quot; spoken of here. We are asked to be faithful in that which is God's, and then we will be given &quot;that which is your own&quot; (:12) in the Kingdom, as if we will be given &quot;true riches&quot; which somehow are relevant to us alone, the name given which no one knows except ourselves (Rev. 2:17). &quot;Riches&quot; represent the riches of wisdom and knowledge (Col. 2:13), and they are paralleled with &quot;that which is your own&quot;, as if somehow in the Kingdom we will be given a vast depth of spiritual knowledge and perception which is in some way relevant to us alone. To me, those few words of Lk. 16:11,12 take me to the brink of understanding what the Kingdom will be about. We can go no further.</p>
