While Jesus was in the Temple,
he watched the rich people putting
their gifts into the collection box.
Then a poor widow came by and dropped
in two pennies. "I assure you," he said,
"this poor widow has given more than all
the rest of them. For they have given a
tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor
as she is, has given everything she has."
Regarding giving, Christianity is about giving everything you have – just like when Jesus gave His life for all of us on the cross. In Acts 2:45, the first century Christians, “sold their possessions and shared the proceeds with those in need.” Acts 4:34-35 teaches us that, “there was no poverty among them, because people who owned land or houses sold them and brought the money to the apostles to give to others in need.” Today, Jesus is watching us from His throne and He knows who is giving their all, and He knows who's putting everything possible into the kingdom. Ultimately, the rewards and blessings for giving everything you have are absolutely priceless.
