Why We Give
It was the bad-person, the tax collector, who finds fullness of life. It was the lost one, the one others judged and condemned.
When Jesus spoke the Gospel, the good news, he defined it as the Kingdom of Heaven being at hand, meaning right here, very near, and coming soon. Will we help Kingdom come, or will we remain at cross purposes with God, one another, and God's coming Kingdom? Thy will, be done, Lord, on earth as it is in the Kingdom of Heaven.
