John H. Carter, Agent
The Christmas season, when there
is so much thought about gifts, is a
most appropriate time for a lesson
on Christian giving. Dr. John Willis
Baer was once asked: "How can
we raise money for foreign mis-
sions?” Quick as a flash, he an-
swered: "Don’t raise it, give it.”
"If all believers could come to a true
knowledge of what the New Testa-
ment teaches regarding giving, and
would seriously put this knowledge
into practice, the Christian church
could advance more in the next 10
years than it has advanced in any
50 years in its history” (Wilbur M
Smith).
I. An Example of Liberality
(8:1-5).
For some reason people are over-
ly sensitive when one speaks of
money. The subject must be ap-
proached tactfully, so Paul skillfully
directs the attention of the Corin-
thian church to their fellow Chris-
tians in Macedonia. They had been
in great affliction and were in
“deep poverty" (v. 2), but out of
their sorrow and want they gave
far above Paul’s expectation (v. 5)
and "beyond their power,” and then
pleaded with Paul that he should
let them give more. The explana-
tion is found in verse 5, where we
learn that they had first given "their
own selves to the Lord," and then
in loving co-operation with Paul
himself, as the Lord’s agent, in this
matter of the offering.
Is it not strange that those who
suffer most for the gospel and have
the least to give are the most gen-
erous in their giving. Those to
whom the gospel has come easily,
who bear no special burdens for
Christ, and who are well situated
financially, are commonly the most
stingy with their money. Could it
be that they have not really given
themselves to the Lord? One won-
ders.
II. An Exhortation to Faithful-
ness (8:6-9).
Apparently the Corinthians had
made a promise or pledge to give
for the poor at Jerusalem, but had
become a bit forgetful and negli-
gent. It seems to be so easy to
neglect to keep up a pledge for the
Lord’s work. Some folk even feel
that they cannot make a pledge.
They pledge to pay their rent,
make payments on a car, or a
washing machine; but to the church
they just can’t pledge, or if they
do, the promise is often neglected.
Such things are dishonoring to the
name of Christ.
As they abound in other graces (v.
7). Paul exhorts the Corinthians to
abound in "this grace also.” So
giving is a Christian grace! And
why not? Consider Christ (v. 9),
who left the glory He had with the
Father and came to the poverty of
the One who had not where to lay
His head, that we through Him
might be eternally rich.
Christian friend, when that truth
lays hold of your heart and life your
purse strings will loosen, your check
book will open more easily, you will
gladly give—for Christ’s sake.
III. A Principle of Christian Giv-
ing (9:6).
The harvest is always in propor-
tion to the sowing of the seed. The
man who is stingy with his seed at
sowing time will reap that kind of a
harvest. The opposite is also true.
It works in the field of business
too. The merchant who gives the
fullest return for one’s money and
the most liberal measure of service
is bound to prosper, while the stingy
one is left to lament the fact that
his goods rot on his shelves.
In the spiritual realm it is even
more true. But, someone may
say, we ought not to do good that
we may profit by it. No real Chris-
tian will give just that he may pros-
per, but, mark it well, if he does
give for Christ's sake and His glory,
God will prosper him. "You can’t
beat God giving."
IV. The Spirit of Christian
Stewardship (9:7).
Our giving is to be done according
to the purpose of our heart—not
grudgingly, nor with grief, nor yet
by compulsion, because someone put
on Dressure.
