Doesn’t this go against everything that our culture tells us? How do we have relationships with others that do not understand this concept from God’s perspective?

Those that you think are spiritual maybe aren’t. Those that you think aren’t contributing so much, might be giving more than all. It is an entirely different set of values. It is an other worldly way of defining things.

With the unnamed women and her offering, we again are shown that it is not the weight of your gift that matters, but the weight of your desire that seems to be important.

He’s gotten them to the point where they will ask him no more questions because they are afraid of his answers. But he continues, and starts to ask them questions that they can’t answer. I think he really cares for them and desires so much for them to peel away their sheltered understanding of who Christ is and to open the their hearts to the reality of the fact that he is standing before them.
