"All That She Had"
24"x 28" oil
In Mark 12:41-44, Jesus sits over the treasury and sees many rich people cast in much. Then He sees a poor old widow throws in 2 mites. Then He calls His disciples over and tells them that the widow cast in more than all the others. The others cast in of their abundance but she cast in all that she had, even all her living.
I wanted this painting to depict Jesus with the 2 mites in His hand looking down at them, pleased with the widow's sacrifice of all that she had, however small it is. The same can be for us as we choose to offer all that we have for the Lord and His work, however much or little that is.
