Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

There were a lot of people in Jerusalem. It was almost the Passover. So people were coming from all over, coming to Jerusalem for the Feast. And Jesus watched. All kinds of people and all kinds of offerings. At last, she came in. After the many. At the end. Like she didn't want to be seen or noticed. Except Jesus noticed her. Maybe this story isn't so much about giving as it is about mercy. Or maybe the two go together... The end of the church year gives us that chance each year to remember that we may be living in the last days, and that one of these days, we'll be right. And so to hang onto the little things of this world a little less, and hang onto our bridegroom a little more.
