The entire life of Jesus in the gospels is one demonstration of giving after another. He gave healing to the sick, life to the dead, and a future hope to everyone who believes. He even resourcefully paid his taxes from the mouth of a fish. The abundance of His giving was an example to all of us. He knows that our time, gifts, and resources can get in the way of placing God first in our lives. Cheerfully giving from all of our blessings is a way to keep Him first!
