Extravagant Generosity Christmastime reminds us of the story of the Magi’s generosity. They travelled

a great distance to worship the King Jesus. They did not let anything (time,

inconvenience, expense) stop them from adoring the One who is the Hope of

the world. Their generosity is inspiring to us as mature Sons of God because

we can also give our time, our love, finances and lives to God and to others.

We learnt last week is that we are blessed when we give (Acts 20:35) but also

in receiving from God. God lavished His love on us by sending Jesus and He

wants to do more! “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what

no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who

love him” 1 Corinthians 2:9

God’s word to us is that He just wants us to receive His love and be blessed,

not to burden us but just because He loves us. It is amazing to know that as

much as we give, we cannot ‘out-give’ God! This revelation stops us from

striving in our own efforts and to receive His love. God loves you and wants to

lavish His blessings on you. Your only response is to receive!
