few hundred dollars, but millions and millions of dollars? Most of us

believe we would pay off some bills, take a few nice vacations, and

maybe buy a new house. But then, we almost always talk about how we’d

help people in need, or give to good causes. And while this reflects a

heart that recognizes the good in giving, we have to admit that we think

about generosity as something we’d do if we had way more than we need.

But Jesus says that the Kingdom is a place where people are generous no

matter what. He puts the label ‘blessed’ on people we tend to not want

to be. These types of people (meek, merciful, and peacemakers) are

generally people who give to others at their own expense. If we really

want to trust Jesus and follow Him, we need to dig into what He means!
