Luke 21:1-38
The ‘poor widow’ gave her ‘all’ to the Lord (1-4). True giving is a response to ‘the grace of God’. Learning to appreciate ‘the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ’, we will learn to give with ‘abundance of joy’ and ‘wealth of liberality’(2 Corinthians 8:1-2, 9). Let us give ourselves to our Lord. True Christian living will not be easy (12; 2 Timothy 3:12). The Lord will be with us in all our difficulties (15, 18-19). Christ will return ‘with power and great glory’(27). For some this will be a time of ‘distress... perplexity... fear... foreboding’(25-26). For others, it will be the Day of ‘redemption’(28). To all, there is the warning: ‘Take heed to yourselves... watch at all times’(34-36). Let us restore Him to His rightful place in our lives - ‘...all the people came to Him...’(38).
