A PROFOUND TEACHING ABOUT GIVING

1. The Practice of Lending

a. The normal practice

i. To lend.

ii. The borrower was to return the loan extended.

b. The special practice

i. To lend.

ii. But to accept that the loan may not be returned (Luke 6:34).

2. Beyond the special practice of lending

a. To lend without looking for the return of a loan was special.

b. The Lord Jesus went further to teach about “giving”.

3. An illustration chosen

a. The illustration is that of a merchant measuring out grain.

b. The normal way of filling up a sack of grain.
The merchant just pours the dry grain till the sack is full.

c. The special way chosen. He does more than just filling up the sack!

4. The special way described

Four things were noted:

a. A “good measure”

i. Total honesty.

ii. No cheating of the customer.

b. “Pressed down”

i. The merchant presses the grain down into the sack.

ii. This way, he is actually giving more to the customer.

i. The merchant shakes the sack to settle the grain more.

ii. This is an additional effort.

iii. More grain can be added.

d. “And running over”

i. The merchant has done his utmost to give even more than expected.

ii. He pours even more grain till the grain spills over the sack.

5. “Give, and it will be given to you” Luke 6:38

a. This was what the Lord Jesus taught.

b. People who have such a heart to give to those in need:

i. Graciously

ii. Generously
