Generosity
There is more joy in giving than receiving.
Few of Jesus’ teachings are more radical, counterintuitive, and disorienting to our cultural assumptions than what Jesus has to say about money and generosity. We hear constantly the Western formula of “more money = more happiness.” But Jesus boldly claims that happiness is found not in the accumulation of wealth, but in a deeply relational life of giving and love.
