I have been reflecting on our Lord's great promise "Ask and it will be given to you" in the gospels. I noticed something interesting. In Matthew 7:11 our Lord says:
how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
In Luke 11:13 our Lord says:
how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
I was wondering how to reconcile this? Did the Lord make both statements? Did Luke and Matthew interpret the statements slightly differently?
