Joshua 8:1-35; Isaiah 5:1-30; Luke 22:54-23:12
He saw also a certain poor widow putting in two mites. Luke 21:2, NKJV
Hidden in this beautiful story is a picture of our blessed Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, who gave His life for the sins of all mankind. This poor widow came without fanfare or applause; and so did He! She came in deep humility; so did He! She gave with no thought for herself; so did He! She gave so that others might benefit; so did He! She gave to the utmost: so did He! —Ray Jones
I gave My life for thee, My precious blood I shed,
That thou might ransomed be, and quickened from the dead.
I suffered much for thee, more than thy tongue can tell,
Of bitterest agony, to rescue thee from hell. —Frances R. Havergal
