And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: -Mark 12:43 Did you know that this passage DOES NOT speak of faithful Christian giving? Jesus would never ask us to give all that we have and die. Jesus is teaching His disciples here about how evil the religious leaders were in that day. They ignored the Old Testament mandates set forth by God to take care of widows and instead to pad their pockets would devour widows houses. Jesus never says anything about this womans motivation or even if she is a believer. This teaching IS about how religious leaders are NOT supposed to be greedy and selfishly take someones last dollar. True Christians are to care for the needy!
