[:en]MULTIPLIED GENEROSITY
When the first Christians in Jerusalem faced poverty, it was a church that rushed to their aid. Though in need themselve,s the Macedonian Christians gave sacrificially, considering it a privilege to do so. (2 Cor. 8:1-4). Paul cited their generosity as an example for the Corinthians, and us, to follow. When we use our plenty to supply another’s need, we reflect Jesus, who gave away His riches to meet our own spiritual poverty (2 Cor. 8:9)
Let us excel in this grace of giving. Let us show generosity by meeting the needs of others. And by doing so, Christ will be glorified. – (by Sheridan Voysey)
