What should he do? Will he be sinner if he holds the money or should he send it to the rightful owner. Being a Christian with morals.
The man did what he was asked to do by giving the Pastor the pack of sugar. The pastor used his religious power to collect the cash from the man. The pastor was the one that made the choice, hence he should bear the consequences. He has technically given what was rightful his to the man and the man cannot be blamed if he keeps the money. I don't think the man acted immorally if he decides to keep the money because it is now a gift that was given to him by the pastor. But it might be proper if he informs the person that gave them the package about what transpired so that he would not be blamed for the pastors greed and misuse of religious authority.
I like your review. related to the story in the Op, however, I will not comment on religious ones. this story can be applied to other characters, maybe the recipient is a corrupt policeman, a greedy state official, maybe the story will be more interesting. however, what you say is quite wise.
I totally agree, if that person tells the person who gave the order to deliver the sugar packet and the amount of money. how glorious he would be, if he did.
This story is quite interesting to me. let alone quoting the words of "don't judge a book by its cover" from these words, very implying a deep meaning, the recipient rejected the sugar but accepted the cash. he gave the sugar to the delivery man, the man got a fortune from the money in the sugar bag.
I don't want to say the recipient is greedy, maybe he just wants to share with the sender by sharing the sugar. what's interesting is Op's question, I wouldn't say the package sender is unscrupulous. if it turns out, he does not return the money he found. because after all, he found it in the sugar bag. however, how very wise, without having to relate it to sin and morals, he could do it.
because the contents of the amount of money that was in the sugar bag, were not what should belong to him.
