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.

“Are we there yet?” That question seems to be the most frequently asked question while traveling. We get so consumed with wanting to reach our destination that sometimes we miss the beauty in the journey.

This parable is explained well in the Believers Bible Commentary: “The man who planted a vineyard was God Himself. The vineyard was the place of privilege then occupied by Israel. The hedge was the Law of Moses, which separated Israel from the Gentiles and preserved them as a distinct people for the Lord.
