It Shall Be Given

Jesus said “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” Luke 6:38

Often this verse is thought of in the context of giving and receiving monetary gifts and needs but that is not the only way in which Jesus employed it.

It deals with…

 Blessing others, even our enemies. (v28)

Sharing with others. (v29)

Giving to others. (v30)

Doing to others what you expect from them. (v31)

Loving all others, even our enemies. (v32)

Doing good to all others, even our enemies. (v33)

Lending to others, even our enemies. (v34)

Luke 6:35 says, “But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.”

Be merciful to others. (v36) This definitely includes your enemies.

Don’t Judge but rather forgive. (v37)

“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”

It Shall Be Given; love, joy, peace, blessing, mercy, sharing, others respond in like kind.

And if they don’t, God notices.

It Shall Be Given.

“He must increase, WE must decrease!”
