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).
