The sermon centres on the story of a poor widow who gives her last two mites into the temple treasury, highlighting not merely her act of sacrificial giving but her profound faith in Christ, whom she glimpses through the sacrificial system of the Old Testament. Through her offering of two sparrows—a sin offering and a burnt offering—she symbolically anticipates the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, demonstrating that true worship is rooted in faith in the cross. The preacher emphasizes that Jesus, as the all-knowing and ever-present High Priest, sees every detail of her life, knows her poverty and grief, and is intimately sympathetic to her struggles, offering comfort and assurance to all who trust in Him. The widow's willingness to give all she had reflects a deep confidence in God's faithfulness, grounded in the conviction that He has never failed her and will continue to sustain her. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to prioritize encountering Christ in worship, to trust in His provision, and to live with the same radical faith and devotion, knowing that God honors such surrender and remains faithful to those who honor Him.
