Living in response to the Generosity of God
All of us at Cornerstone City Church are recipients of the great generosity and love of God. We are a testimony to the hope that is available for those who feel burdened and weighed down. It is for this reason that we believe it is our mandate to help those who find themselves in great need, by bringing and demonstrating the message of the Hope of Jesus.
Jesus once told a story about a King who informed his subjects, “I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirsty and you gave me a drink, I was homeless and you gave me a room, I was shivering and you gave me clothes, I was sick and you stopped to visit, I was in prison and you came to me.” The subjects replied, “when did we do this for you, we never saw you in need?”. The King said, “I’m telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, you did it to me.”
And He said in
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Jesus gave everything on the cross, so that we could step into life. There was no price that he would not pay, there was no limit to the generosity of the Father - He gave His one and only Son. Everything was poured out as an offering for us.
We now live in response to this by being a community of breathtaking, radical generosity, following Jesus’ example of demonstrating the relentless love of the Father to our world, knowing that when we do so, we also do it for Him.
