Mark 12:38–44 — The Widow’s Gift

Our God came to bear witness to the pain and suffering of the world. He witnessed the sacrifice of the starving widow in 1 Kings, he witnessed the offering of the destitute widow in Mark, and he witnesses us in our brokenness. When we come to God with our little means, he knows the areas of our life which are impoverished and the depth of our sinfulness, and he will count it as more than the most perfect performance of the best religious leaders.
