What does the Bible say about the widow's offering?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible highlights the widow’s offering in Luke 21:1-4, emphasizing that her two mites were worth more than the large gifts of the rich because she gave all she had.

In Luke 21:1-4, Jesus observes a poor widow who gives two mites, stating that she has put in more than all others because, from her poverty, she has given all she had to live on. This lesson is profound as it illustrates that God values the heart behind the gift rather than the monetary value. The widow's actions reflect complete trust and faith in God to provide, demonstrating that true giving is about sacrifice and devotion, not just the amount contributed. It reveals a deeper spiritual principle: that God's measure of giving is based on sacrifice and commitment to Him.
