Unlimited: The Widow’s Offering | Good News Unlimited
Jesus was in the temple. One of the important things that happened in the temple is that people brought their offerings to God there. This gave Jesus the opportunity to teach an important lesson about giving to God. We don’t like talking about money, but this didn’t bother Jesus at all. Jesus spoke about money more than he did even about faith or about prayer, in fact by a ratio on over four to one. One out of every ten verses in the Gospel deals with money. That’s because Jesus knew that what you do with your money is one of the clearest indicators of the state of your heart. And that’s why he was sitting watching the people give their offerings. Jesus cares deeply about what you do with your money.
