TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD | LUKE 6-7

Measure Out Generously

6:38

A generous person gladly gives of his time, energy, and resources to help and encourage others.

  • A man in Bible times with grain in the fold of his garment

    The form of the Greek verb translated “practice giving” denotes continuous action

  • When we practice giving, others will pour into our lap “a fine measure, pressed down, shaken together, and overflowing.” This expression may refer to a custom of some vendors to fill a fold in the outer garment with purchased goods
