[Discoveries] 11-18-07 Expectation -- Mark 12:41

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and 
watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. -- Mark 
12:41*/

What was Jesus looking for?

The next couple verses make it clear. He wasn't looking for money. God 
has no shortage of money.

Instead He was looking for faith, courage and sacrifice. Faith to 
believe that God can be trusted with everything we have. Courage to give 
recklessly to God. And the sacrifice that says, "I will give even if it 
hurts."

Jesus was watching because He expected to find something good. And He 
was not disappointed. Jesus is watching us, as well, as we offer up what 
we have -- small or great, much or little -- to God. I sense He's 
excited because He expects to find something good.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
