—Luke 6:20-26
by: Andrew J. Camenga.
Jesus said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35). Yet this scripture makes it sound like the only ones who will be blessed are those who have nothing to give (the poor, the hungry, the sorrowing, the persecuted). The warning to those who are rich, well-fed, happy, and well-thought-of, makes its point-those who are self-sufficient will one day be left to their own resources, not God's. Are you relying on God and using his wealth as he sees fit, or are you relying on things for security?
