They will receive a very severe condemnation. 41`He sat down opposite the treasury and observed how the crowd put money into the treasury.

5 Many rich people put in large sums. 42`A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth a few cents. 43`Calling his disciples to him-self, he said to them, Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury. 44`For they have all contributed from their sur-plus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole liveli-hood. The Poor Widow Rachel Myers, Women In The Word A little about widows in the Bible: they don t get a ton of air time, but when a wid-ow is mentioned (often in combination with the fatherless), she is associated with pov-erty and neediness. Over and over, the Bible mentions widows as the responsibility of the Church for protection and provision.

6 Their husbands are gone; they have no way of making a living, and are thus at the mercy of the Church to be their family. Biblical widows in particular seem to be known for having next to nothing; which is just one of the reasons why this story in the temple is so incredible. Shiny, wealthy, powerful people were making impressive contributions at the treas-ury that day. And think of it Jesus was actually sitting there watching. It s no won-der such generous offerings were being made. And yet, Jesus sat .. Then came a poor widow, and she put next to nothing in the box. And Jesus was no longer silent. Right away, moved by her actions, Jesus called His disciples over so they could learn from her. Y all, (my loose some-times, in my mind, Jesus says y ) this woman just had the guts to give me next to nothing which, in her case, is everything!

7 Do like her! The widow s everything was next to nothing. And yet, she knew that all she had was from God, her Protector and Provider. And because of this, this woman with very little looked at absolutely everything she had her poverty as abundance. Her offering was a sacrifice, to be sure. And though it paled in comparison to the one Jesus would make for her on the Cross, it showed where she stood. She was all in and athat s what mattered most to her Savior. How all-in are we today? Compared to that precious widow, most of us have next to everything. Are we giving to the Lord from our abundance, not just financially, but in time and influence and resources? Are we digging deep, deep down into the next-to-nothing parts of our pockets and calendars and efforts to give to the Lord from a place of sacrifice what is al-ready from Him?

8 Let s be (women) who are all in for Christ. Let us first give ourselves fully to our God, and let us then ask the Ho-ly Spirit where He would have us give sacri-ficially to the work of the Kingdom.
