Some Bibles print the words of Jesus with red ink while all other words are printed in black ink. That means that there is a lot of red in the four New Testament Gospels but almost no red ink in any other books of the Bible. It’s a little surprising when we read Acts 20:35 and discover a quote from Jesus that appears nowhere else in the Bible. This fits the description of the last lines in the Gospel of John that there were so many things Jesus said and did that if they were all written down the world could not contain the books. Some of the few extra words of Jesus that we have appear in Acts 20:35. So, it must be very important when we hear Jesus say, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” It is more of the upside-down kingdom-of-God logic of Jesus. If we get it we are in for some of the greatest blessings of generosity.
