” Another thing to think about.  The assumption in interpreting this as a model for Christian giving is that Jesus was pleased with what she did.  It doesn’t say that.  Absolutely doesn’t say that.  It doesn’t say that Jesus was pleased with her gift.  It doesn’t say Jesus was pleased with her attitude.  It doesn’t say anything about His attitude.  In fact—in fact, I think what she did displeased Him immensely.  I think it was more than displeasing.  I think it angered Him.  I think what she did angered Jesus. Let me put it this way.  How would you feel? You’re a person that loves the Lord, you’re a person that loves your brother and cares about people and cares about their needs. How would you feel if you saw a destitute widow who only had two coins left to buy her food for her next meal give those two coins to a religious system? How would you feel?  You would say, “Something is wrong with that system when that system takes the last two coins out of a widow’s hand.” That’s what you would say and you would be right to say that.  Giving your last two coins to a false religious system! How would you feel if you saw a destitute, impoverished person give to her religion her last hope for life to go home perhaps and die?  You’d be sick.  You’d feel terrible.  You would be repulsed.  Any religion that is built on the back of the poor is a false religion.  What a sad, misguided, woeful, poor victimized lady.  It’s tragic, painful.  And I think that’s exactly how Jesus saw it, exactly.
