Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe

Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe

# 17: Regarding donations (contributions) one should turn to our Teacher for direction. Jesus: “One is your teacher, the Christ.” The Father said of Jesus, “This is My Son in whom I am well-pleased. HEAR HIM.” So let’s hear our Jesus….

Jesus: “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into  your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” Now let’s unpack those precious words….

“Give.” Our generous Jesus wants His ambassadors to be generous. Give, give, give. And then give more. The stingy soul is a sick soul. The Father was generous X 1000. (“He gave His only begotten Son.”) Jesus was likewise generous. (“Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree.”)

“and it will be given to you.” We give and Jesus replenishes. It costs nothing to give. It costs nothing to give little and it costs nothing to give much.

“with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” Jesus’ generosity to us is determined by our generosity to others.

Notice Jesus did not say to give 10%. No calculator required, just a generous heart, a touch of faith, and submission to the Holy Spirit. Amen?
