—Mark 12:38-44
by: Sheri Rood.
The widow Jesus observed that day did not come for a handout or to be commended for her sacrifice. For all we know, she was unaware that Jesus was watching her and that she would become an object lesson for giving for the rest of time. God’s economy is the opposite of the world’s economy. The world’s economy is temporary, God’s is eternal. In God’s economy we only really keep what we give away. There are righteous and godly rich people, like Abraham, who was willing to give God his own precious son, and righteous and godly poor people, like this widow, who gave her last cent. God loves a pure and generous heart.
