Jesus took generosity so seriously, that he made it his way of life. He did not apologize for being generous and humble. He came as a humble servant, and in his life, we have the ultimate in giving. For Jesus there was no holding back, no reserve, and no condition. His generosity for us was without condition. WE have the opportunity to return that love by financially supporting the ministries of OUR church -- St. John Lutheran Church.
