He said all would be accomplished.
He clarified, simplified, fulfilled and expounded on them.
He specifically taught how the scriptures pointed to Him.

The Bible teaches that our spending says a lot about our heart, and in Jesus’ kindness, He gave us an example to follow! He showed us the incredible impact of generous living by giving His life to save us. So, in response to His gift to us, He calls us to give to His work and His House so others can know Him and experience the freedom, peace, and joy He offers.
