Jesus Teaches in the Temple (The Widow’s Mite)

Welcome to our story for March 3, Jesus Teaches in the Temple, also known as The Widow’s Mite. It’s based on the scripture found in Luke 20:45-21:4.

This is a beautiful passage in which Jesus gets practical. As followers of The Way, what are we supposed to do? What are we not supposed to do? Jesus draws our attention to a poor widow, whose behavior is a quiet lesson in this very thing – and quite a contrast to the noisy behavior of others. If we’re supposed to be givers like God, what does that behavior look like? Jesus points to the ultimate example.
