Donations Publicly Proclaimed

"And calling His disciples to Him, He said to them,

‘Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more

than all the contributors to the treasury."

Mark 12:43 NAS

Eternal praise and admiration for two measly mites. What a bargain! Jesus showcased a widow’s attitude rather than her money. She was His heroine of the day. She received a lot of fame for a couple of coins.

Between Palm Sunday and Good Friday Jesus and His followers entered the Jerusalem Temple. In the past, he spent His time there teaching and in dialogue. This day He sat down next to the treasury and watched people.
