He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it.

Generous VS Selfish
It's mine- don't touch it..
We're always going to point to others so we don't have to deal with it our own generosity or selfishness..
Who gave Judas the moneybox? Why would Jesus do that? God will test you and give you an opportunity to escape..
The extravagance of generosity
-David gave to the temple
-The widow gave her last
-Mary gave her oil
The amount is not what's important, it's the heart behind the giving.
2 Cor 8:5
You can give Him his heart, that is all that you can give that can impress Him.
Different levels of giving
-Tithes
-Offerings
-Extravagant offerings
The reward of generosity
Mark 14:9
Generosity comes from gratitude.
God always rewards generosity-expecting nothing in return.
Heb 11:6
