Message: Mark 12:35-44 “Opposite Sides of the Coin”

After encountering four different religious groups in the area of the Temple Mount, Jesus makes a contrast between the religious elite and the humble faithful. As a widow of little means makes a humble contribution to the Temple treasury, Jesus sees her and she becomes an eternal symbol of the kind of simple and humble faith God is seeking. In this illustration, there is a freeing invitation to live simple, faithful, and anonymous lives that aren’t in competition with anyone or anything else.
