Today I wanted to explore more of the red letter, what Jesus said. I feel like if I want to know him more, I should study what he said and what he did. I read Luke 21, and for this post I want to focus on verses 1-4. This is a well known portion of the Bible I think. This talks about the Widow's offering. Jesus was at the temple and saw how people were leaving gifts and their offerings in the temple. Many people were giving many things or some of the many things they had, but a poor widow only had little to live off of and she gave it all as an offering. Jesus then said that everyone was just giving out of their own wealth and that the widow had given more than them. This was really interesting and I compare it to letting Jesus take 'part' of our lives and not all of our lives. I want Jesus to take all of my life and I want to give him everything , not just what I have left. Jesus deserves my best and more.
