The Great King

The world and all that is in it belong to the Lord; the earth and all who live on it are his. He built it on the deep waters beneath the earth and laid its foundations in the ocean depths.

Who has the right to go up the Lord's hill? Who may enter his holy Temple? Those who are pure in act and in thought, who do not worship idols or make false promises. The Lord will bless them and save them; God will declare them innocent. Such are the people who come to God, who come into the presence of the God of Jacob.

- Psalms 24:1-6

The Widow's Offering

Jesus looked around and saw rich people dropping their gifts in the Temple Treasury, and he also saw a very poor widow dropping in two little copper coins. He said, "I tell you that this poor widow put in more than all of the others. For the others offered their gifts from what they had to spare of their riches; but she, poor as she is, gave all she had to live on."

- Luke 21:1-4
