what was jesus tring to teach ( amount, motive, attitude)

the widow gave in his last penny, she had nothing to fall back on, all the rich they gave the best but they had lots left to fall back on...that means he made that offering trusting god that hell multiply for her, its not about how much you give bt do give with your heart and the things that means the lot to you.

The Widow`s Offering
Jesus said that to give with whole heartedly not have to announce as a motive to let others know. Give willingand God will provide our needs. People wo tried to store up treasures for themselves, it will be taken away from them.

The Widow's Offering

Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much. A poor widow came, and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin. He called his disciples to himself, and said to them, "Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury, for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on."

Mark 12:41-44
