In his final words with the leaders of the church in Ephesus, Paul reminds them of the words of Jesus: "It is more blessed to give than to receive.” It's a lovely sentiment, but is it true? And if it is true, then why aren't people racing to give everything away? Truly, Jesus was not just offering us pleasant advice. His life reveals that generosity is the secret to a life well-lived!
