When we hear the Parable of the Dishonest Manager, it makes us think the emphasis is on the one after whom the parable is named. Similar to the Parable of the Lost/Prodigal Son (which takes place right before this one). Sometimes what we think a parable is about, isn't always what the parable is about, because a parable (an earthly story with a heavenly meaning), is sometimes more about how God works in and through fallen humanity compared to how humans deal with their own selfish/sinful decisions.
