The Poor Widow & Living Rich Toward God
Mark 12:41-44
Luke 12:13-21
Care for the poor is a biblical expression of the Kingdom of God and an essential practice in our spiritual formation as Jesus followers.
Spiritual transformation happens when we move out of self-centered accumulation and into a lifestyle of gratitude and God-oriented stewardship.
Everybody gets to play. Everybody gets to give.
Heaven does not measure the size of our gift. Heaven measures the weight of our surrender.
In the Kingdom of God, value is determined not by what leaves your hand, but by what remains in your pocket.
God has never been after our wallets or bank accounts. He has always been (and will always be) after our hearts!
Jesus pays attention to our treasures because our treasures are the trailheads that lead to our hearts.
The Rich Fool had full barns and an empty soul. He was rich toward himself, yet destitute before God.
The Poor Widow had an empty purse and an overflowing soul. She had nothing left in her hand, yet she was infinitely rich toward God.
To be “rich toward God” does not require a large bank account. It requires a large trust in Him and His promises to us.
Little is much when God is in it.
We can only live rich toward God because Jesus became poor for our sakes.
Biblical generosity is about the joy of discovering that God can be trusted with everything we are and everything we have.
As followers of Jesus, we are called to be distributors of God’s abundance rather than mere reservoirs.
Matthew 6:19-21
2 Corinthians 8:9
“As followers of Jesus, we can learn to be content with what we have, living modestly in order that we may give liberally to do the work of the Kingdom and to meet the needs of others.”
