38. 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.
Take this ingredient out of the recipe and all you have is a series of examples piled on top of each other. The Egg is missing because this statement exposes the heart of the matter and the individual.
This section starts with verse 27 and ends with verse 38, the last statement in the paragraph.
O.K. do I need to copy these verses down for you to read…or are you going to go get your bible and read them your self? Hmmmm…( tapping foot ) I’m waiting…
Very good, now read Luke Chapter 6. I mean why Mickey Mouse around here just start at the beginning of the chapter and when you get to verse 27 look at the message behind the words as he speaks, what is being dealt with here is the response of our heart isn’t it. Actually verse 38 is the concluding statement not only of the paragraph, but also the statement made in verse 37.
My point is this…we are not single out one ingredient but rather read the entire recipe so the Holy Spirit can prove our heart by adding the heat. That way we will taste good to God and to others.

What an amazing chapter! The whole thing really does mesh together so well doesn't it? The incidents in the beginning of the chapter just lead right into what he talks to them about. Actually I think that I am going to read this chapter through a couple more times. You know, it is easy to read it and simply apply every little section to itself instead of letting the whole idea just sit and create thoughts of what he is saying in all this.
