As Jesus waits in Jerusalem for the coming Passover feast, he teaches daily in the temple about the nature of the Kingdom of God and the things that are to come. At one point, Jesus looks up and watches while many rich people donate large gifts in the temple treasury and a poor widow donates only a couple of coins. Jesus knows that the rich people gave what they didn’t need but that the widow gave everything she had. So he speaks up and tells everyone listening, “this poor widow gave more than all the rest of them.”
See, Jesus is not like other kings who value the wealthy because of their large donations. In his Kingdom, people do not need much in order to give more. Jesus teaches that the wealth of this world is coming to an end and that his Kingdom is drawing near, so he tells his followers to keep their hearts free from waste and worry and to rely on him instead (vv. 21:13-19, 34-36).
