Scripture Post #565: *2 MITES*

Luke 20:

1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.

2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.

3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 

4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

This poor widow gave the equivalent of about 2 pennies, and JESUS counted it more than all of what the rich people gave! How is this? Because GOD looks at percentage. This woman gave less in *amount* than what the rich gave, but more in *percentage*. For she gave *all* she had (100% of her money) to GOD. Whereas, the rich didn't. 

I thank GOD using Pastor Andy Stanley for this teaching. Because I first heard this teaching regarding percentage from his ministry!
