Why would Jesus tell us that a poor widow put in the offering plate all she had? Certainly he doesn’t want us to empty our bank accounts. But what does he want? This week we will explore how to give Jesus our all.
Mark 12:38-44 | 38 And in his teaching he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in
long robes and like greetings in the marketplaces 39 and have the best seats in the synagogues
and the places of honor at feasts, 40 who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long
prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.” 41 And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. 42 And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny. 43 And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. 44 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.”
