    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
