Mark 12:35-44
35 And as Jesus taught in the temple, he said, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David? 36 David himself, in the Holy Spirit, declared,
“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
until I put your enemies under your feet.”’
37 David himself calls him Lord. So how is he his son?”
And the great throng heard him gladly.
38 And in his teaching he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes and like greetings in the marketplaces 39 and have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts, 40 who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.”
41 And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. 42 And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny 43 And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. 44 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.”
Jesus Christ has about 9,000 Titles. Explaining a vast Authority. John's Truth, or John's Gospel explains as the Light of the world existing in all of mankind as part of God's vast Creation.
Peter sums up Jesus he lived and observed and loved and died for - after being human towards.
1 Peter 2:25
For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to
The Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
The Jews lived in a time where they were registered and accounted. We have all found the internet and social media have made life more 'Registered". We live now seeing many times the theory of 6 Degrees of Separation is informational and helpful.
It's just plain Historical Documentation to be able to see in Scotland the Talmud and the Sanhedrin Council. The Sanhedrin was an assembly of twenty-three to seventy-one men appointed in every city in the Land of Israel. In the Hebrew Bible, Moses and the Israelites were commanded by God to establish courts of judges, they were given full authority over the people of Israel; and the people were commanded by God to obey every word they have instructed and every law they have established.
When they sat down to talk about Jesus, He was quickly placed as son of the living Mary, widow of Joseph (whom they all readily knew as having wonderful lineage of Matthew 1) and of Mary as Heli's daughter in Luke 3. Why we skate past Historical Fact is amazing to me. These records are real and obtainable.
Why did the Crowd hear Jesus gladly on this subject? The crowd knew as well as the Sanhedrin who Jesus exactly was in lineage. God fully and completely covered Jesus as Son of David. There just was no doubt Jesus was of David's Promise. Filled.
And in being Shepherd - Jesus wanted to explain as a Good Father does about money. Jesus was not giving people carte blanche to guilt money out of pockets. Jesus was explaining about goodness and corruption. Why? Just as Jesus is fully covered as the Son of David - Jesus grabs a fish and pays taxes - Jesus believes that the money we have and use is a gift to us by God. If someone wants your house and your household to fall - they are not of God. God wants households to Rise to Real Goodness. Jesus says we are the Temple of God. Behave as if God Trusts you to do rightly. This is real advice of a Real Father God.
God goes farther as Father. If you have given your all to your family, your career, your giving of heart and soul - feel the praise of God upon your soul. God fully recognizes just as David had real hardship and error and His Mercy. God understands where the playing field is really level. God sees success and accomplishment when this is not fully seen. We should never diminish ourselves by failing to appreciate our real successes. God our Father says He sees us entirely and loves our successes with us.
Reverend S. M. Lockridge is very well known for his full understanding of the Light of Jesus Christ in "That's my King, do you Know Him?"

Mark 12:35-44 fully rings with the bells of Fatherhood. You are chosen, special, advised, commended, trusted, as "God's Child, do you know this?" God your Father sees your life and He gifts you with His truth, His Words and His approval. Applauding the successes known to you and God alone.
Abba Father,
Thank You for Your Love.
I am blessed.
Jesus is God.
Amen!
