Open Hands

Open Hands


New Testament Passage

1And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, and He saw also a certain poor widow putting in two mites. So He said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all; for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had.”

Luke 21:1-4

Question

What does it mean to give with “open hands”? How does the widow in the Gospel of Luke portray this kind of giving?
