BOLD Generosity
Choosing to give generously, to give until it truly costs us something, is a spiritual practice we often reserve for mature believers. But Jesus' encounter with Zacchaeus demonstrates that generosity is a natural response to Jesus' good news. When we truly encounter Jesus, giving ought to be a basic, initial response. If we have difficulty with choosing to be generous, we should ask ourselves: what did Zacchaeus see in Jesus that I don't?

How easily do we reduce Jesus’ new life to ‘spirituality’? We think of God’s Kingdom as one area of our lives – what we do on Sundays, or with a small group, or when we’re engaging in religious activities. But Jesus tells us stories that invite us to imagine a Kingdom so big it encompasses our whole lives. A new life that can’t be measured, can’t be quantified because it’s too big, too excellent. This kingdom is worth everything we have and more. It demands everything from us and when we give it all, we wish we could give more. This new life Jesus offers is priceless!
