Jesus is always our standard Moments . After he picked the twelve disciples , jesus was standing at the base of a mountain teaching the people . He told them many things , but one thing really stands out . He told them how to treat each other , and Jesus had a way with stories .
Narrative was the way he told people what he wanted them to remember , and it was then that Jesus used an image of the good gifts God gives to those that love him . The book of Luke tells the story . Jesus looked at his followers and said give and it will be given to you .
A good measure , pressed down , shaken together and running over , will be poured into your lap . Almost a thousand years before , david wrote a similar thing . Psalm 23 5 says you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies . You anoint my head with oil . My cup overflows .
When you make a choice to believe God , he gives you so much in return , it just pours out . And now this is not a message about prosperity . Gospel , hear it clearly . The blessings that we find in Christ , when we place our identity in Him , are so abundant it's almost too much to take in .
And this is the God that we serve , the one waiting for each of us who is hungry and thirsty . Let's pray Lord . Thank you for the abundance that you give us in every way . God , we remember it . We are always grateful In Jesus' name , amen .
