Tuesday of Holy Week – The Greatest Commandment and the Widow's Mite; Mark 12:28-31, 41-44



Below is the third of a series of Holy Week daily devotionals written by a member of our church: 

The most important commandment involves loving God with everything.  This passage begs the questions: Do I love the Lord with all my mind?  All my Heart?  All my soul?  All my strength?  What does this look like?  It looks much like the widow in the second passage who loved the Lord so much that she  “gave all she had” and was commended by Jesus because she did not give out of her wealth, that is, just a part of what she had, but out of her poverty, everything she had.  Commit today to love the Lord with all that you are.
