Backwards Christianity – “It is more blessed to give than to receive”

The phrase "It is better to give than to receive" is one well known in society, but the biblical version is actually "It is more blessed to give than to receive".  Here we explore the passage in Acts 20:35 and what it means to for giving to be more "blessed", rather than "better", and why that is more important in the long-run for us to have the right motivation in giving.
This video short is part of the series "Backwards Christianity".  See other links here: Intro The last shall be first, part 1 Justice-Horizontal, Grace-Vertical The last shall be first, part 2
