Jesus Taught About Giving

In Mark 12:41-44, Jesus observed a poor widow depositing two small coins into the temple treasury. Jesus said her gift outweighed the gifts of those who contributed much more money—because the woman gave all she had to God. Mark concludes with Jesus noting that she gave "all she had to live on." The implication is that she would soon starve to death and those who were responsible for the temple and those who gave more didn't care about her plight. Immediately after this story (Mark 13:1-2), Jesus predicted the destruction of the temple. The temple was a beautiful building, but it was filled with people who didn't care about a destitute woman. Judgment would be coming soon. These Bible activities highlight this event in Jesus' ministry.
