Jan 4, 2023 · Although Jesus wasn’t explicitly talking about monetary giving in Luke 6:38, the “pressed down shaken together” principle does apply: “Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything” (Proverbs 11:24, NLT; see also Proverbs 11:25; 22:9; Malachi 3:10).

To understand what Jesus meant by his statement, we need to first understand the context in which he said it. At the time Jesus spoke these words, his ministry had officially taken off and he had become famous throughout Galilee and Judea. In fact, in Luke chapter 6, where the story takes place, we’re told that large crowds had come from all across...
Jesus said for his disciples to love their enemies, do good to those who hate them, bless those who curse them, pray for those who mistreat them, and give to others without expecting anything back. Remember, he’s talking to a large group of people who are under Roman rule and are, in all probability, being mistreated on a regular basis. The stories...
Jesus says that if we don’t judge people, then we won’t be judged. If we don’t condemn, then we won’t be condemned. Then he says the line that’s used in churches all across America during the giving portion of their Sunday service. He says, “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be p...
The problem is when we go about our lives taking what we can (as is the case with the rich, the well fed, the complacent, and those who strive to get even with others) and we make personal gain our goal rather than learning and becoming more like God. Those are two very different mindsets. One is built on what you can get, the other is built on wha...
What Jesus was getting at was that when we give our time, attention, resources, or love, we receive much more in return because we are acting as trees rooted in soil. We’re in need of the life only God can provide, and as we draw from that life, we’re naturally drawn to give off fruit to those around us in the form of time, attention, material reso...
Jan 18, 2022 · Jesus is instructing those who follow Him to “give” forgiveness in the same amount we desire to be forgiven. We are to be as merciful as God is to us while judging, condemning and forgiving others in the same way we desire to be judged, condemned and forgiven by God.
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
What does Luke 6:38 mean? Jesus continues to explain how His followers should treat their enemies. This choice must be influenced by understanding the Christian's status as children of God the Father. They should let go of the instinct to judge other people's actions and declare them guilty.
His kindness towards us can indeed be described as "good measure–pressed down, shaken together, and running over," for by grace we have been saved and by grace we have received many precious promises which are ours by faith in Christ.
