You Don't Have to Be Rich to Have a Great Home in Heaven

You Don’t Have to Be Rich to Have a Great Home in Heaven

(This is a sequel to the blog “What’s God Got Against Barns?”)

The incident where Jesus was hanging out with His disciples across from the Temple treasury in Jerusalem where people deposited their tithes and offerings gives the cue.  When a widow woman whom He said only had two small copper coins amounting to one cent to her name placed them in the coffer He remarked, “That woman has given more than anyone else, though some had deposited large amounts.” (Mark 12:41-44)

Jesus made it clear that our gift is measured more by how much we keep than by how much we give.
