“And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:”
Luke 21:2-3 KJV
Jesus noticed a very poor widow who dropped two small copper coins in the offering box. “Listen to me,” he said. “This poor widow has given a larger offering than any of the wealthy.” This would have been in the courtyard of the temple, where men and women came to deposit their contribution to the treasury. Historians say there were thirteen trumpet mouthed boxes used in the courtyard for offerings. Jesus is the same yesterday and forever, the I AM Who was, Who is and Who shall be. What He spoke to the prophets stands today, when He said, “but I will protect the orphans who remain among you. Your widows, too, can depend on me for help.” Jesus sees every minute detail of every human being. In societies where widows are easy prey, He still says, “call on Me and trust Me.” Jesus is true to His Word then and He is the same today. Amen!
