Well, that sent me back to the drawing board. I read but the sermon just didn't deal with 'Big Money'. So I went back to our text for today. I tried to look at the text from a different perspective. The Eyes of Jesus Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the crowd putting money into the treasury.
Many rich people put in large sum.
A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which are worth a penny. But Jesus did notice two small coins being placed in the treasury. She didn't give out of surplus but out of everything she had. I remember counting money as a child with my father who was a council member of my home congregation. I would just be amazed at the big checks and bills that came in.
