Jesus' words - "Give, and it will be given to you" (Luke 6:38) - are full of wisdom. He calls us to be generous and consistent in giving ourselves to Him and to others. he shows us the way of generous and consistent giving. Throughout his whole life, he gave Himself for us. In His death, He gave himself for us. In His self-giving, in His life and His death, we see the God-given pattern for our giving. We are to learn from Him. We are to become like Him. In the Story of Jesus, we read of His death. We also read of His resurrection. God raised Him from the dead. In Jesus' own life, there is the perfect fulfilment of His promise: "Give, and it will be given to you." Jesus gave His life for us. God gave Him His life again. God can give life to you and me - the life of His Spirit of life; the life of Christ, risen from the dead, but we must give ourselves to Him. If we are to receive His blessing, we must open our hearts and let Him pour His blessing into us.

God has proved Himself as He has no end by sacrifying Himself to the welfare of world people and sinners. The one who weeps on recollecting the pains of Jesus will certainly has place in paradise!
