In the Parable of the Dishonest Manager (Luke 16:1-13), what is the central theological lesson Jesus intends to convey regarding worldly wealth and eternal life?

A The manager's dishonesty is condoned as a means to secure future financial stability. B Worldly wealth should be used shrewdly to gain favor with others, mirroring the manager's actions. C The parable encourages believers to prioritize spiritual investments over material possessions, using wealth to serve God and others. D It demonstrates that dishonesty is acceptable if it leads to a favorable outcome for the individual.
