Daily Devo | More Blessed to Give Than Receive? (Practicing the Way, Acts 20:32-35)

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!

For Reflection:

Imagine that you're teaching a class of young children and one of them asks if what Jesus said was really true: "Is it really better to give than to receive?"

- How might you address that child's question?

- Would you have any practical advice for those children, a way for them to experience Jesus' words for themselves?

- How might God be inviting you to experience Jesus' words for yourself?
