The dinner that Jesus and the disciples were participating in was, to the Jews, the most significant feast in their year! It was a reminder of God’s provision of salvation from the Egyptians to whom they were enslaved for 400 years. It also served as a reminder of God’s faithfulness to Israel and His coming faithfulness when He would provide salvation through the coming Savior.

Just think, today we are talking about a woman who lived approximately 2000 years ago! This woman is not necessarily remembered for who she was (Mark doesn’t give us her name), but because of what she did! And the interesting thing about her is, according to Jesus, is that she did “what she could” (Mark 14:8).

It is so GOOD to know the end of the story, isn’t it? Jesus is returning, and those that believe in His life, death, and resurrection, and ask Him to be their Lord and Savior, will spend eternity in Heaven with Him! Yet how do we live in the in-between time?

Isn't it crazy how we can be in agreement with things, but not imitate them? I wholeheartedly agree with Jesus that the widow gave a greater gift, because she gave all she had. She was all in for Christ; all in on her FAITH. She gave so much that she would have to rely on Christ to provide for her daily needs because she had nothing left.
