Give > receive // acts 20:17-38

This is one of the most counterintuitive teachings of Jesus: "It is better to give than to receive."  It's not found anywhere in the gospels.  It's something that Paul attributes to Jesus.  In fact, it was so important to Paul that he remembered these words from Jesus in everything he did (Acts 20:34).  This Christmas season it's important to remember that it is better to give than to receive.
