The Widow’s Offering

Description
The poor widow stands with a small coin extended in her hand, her hooded garment and humble posture drawing attention to the quiet sacrifice at the heart of the Gospel account. The scene reflects Jesus’ teaching at the temple treasury, where He observed wealthy worshipers giving from abundance and a widow giving two small copper coins from her poverty. In Luke 21:1-4, Jesus declares that her gift is greater because she gives all she has to live on. The image centers on faithful stewardship, sacrificial giving, and the kingdom value of devotion measured not by amount, but by surrender. It is well suited for sermons, Bible lessons, stewardship campaigns, generosity teaching, women’s ministry, and studies on the widow’s mite.
