We’ll continue today looking at this idea of
offering.
We see in Acts 10:4 that offering is involvement
with the “least of these” Cornelius
stared at him in fear. “What is it, Lord?” he asked. The angel answered, “Your
prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God.
We see in Philippians 4:18
that it is an offering of involvement in ministry or mission. I have received full payment and have more
than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus
the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice,
pleasing to God.
So offering can also mean
that we are to be involved in the lives of other people. Being Jesus with skin
on is a full time job.
Be wise today consider your
offering.
