A Widow’s Two Mites on Perspective & End Times
We may be tempted to embellish the story or to assume we know how it ends. Neither Mark nor Luke lets us have the pleasure. Once Jesus talks about her, she doesn't show up again. Jesus doesn't say that her rent will be provided, will have food the next day, or that her unspoken health condition will be healed. There is no promise. A poor widow, in that time and society, gave the last coins she had and left with no answers.
