“Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who contributing to the treasury.” Mark 12:43

The Widow as a role model.

Jesus uses the woman as a challenge for all people. We do not know this person’s name, but what is important is how she approached her faith in God.

#TotalTrust

Perhaps this story also points to another reality, this widow lived the way she acted in this occasion. May be she lived a life of total surrender. It takes a great deal of trust to give from your “want” as compared to those who give from their “plenty”.

#GodWillMakeAWay

Jesus is not making a commandment here, He is, however, giving us a challenge to look at ourselves and see how we fit in the story.

Meet the Challenged!

Pax.

Happy Fourth of July! Be safe and be well!

And He marveled at their disbelief.
Mark 6:6

We can join Jesus in His amazement at His own people. We may also join Him in the sadness that His love was blocked by contempt.

Familiarity breeds contempt!

Jesus knew the people from His home village and He loved them as He loves everyone. But because of the wall that they made, they could not receive His love. What a sad story! It is a terrible loss of a wonderful opportunity for healing miracles to happen in the lives of the people who knew Jesus!

Familiarity breeds contempt!

We can become the village folk of Jesus’ day. Jesus must be kept on the throne in our lives. Let no wall block Him from loving us into His miracles and blessings! May our faith be ever strong!
