   Welcome to Good Burger selfie and talks. I’m Levi and I’m Chris and I’m Brian, thank you for joining us this week. On this podcast, we select one taco week to help us get the Bible in our daily news feed. We post a new episode of the start of each week with a short intro before. Hand to kind of set the stage for the talk. You’re about to listen to and now let’s talk more about this week’s talk.

2. 0:50

   Welcome to the good christadelphians talks podcast. This is brother Brian. This speaks talk is an excitation by Brother Sam. Mansfield. That was Given back in 2020 at the Hyde Park. Ecclesia, this was sent in by recommendation a couple years ago, and expert is called the widows and women who gave all it’s a great little snapshot into the more prominent stories of sacrifice and salvation that Elijah Elijah and Jesus encounter with these widows who display Faith while in Dire Straits, The main takeaway is that we are these women. we are disadvantaged by the circumstances that we find ourselves in in our natural life, we are facing a debt that cannot be paid and in need of not just a little help but total support And in order to receive that Absolution, we need to be willing to give up, even what little we might have left, so to speak. In order to be truly, set free from the burden of vanity, possessions of entitlement.

3. 2:18

   Brother Sam makes a great point of highlighting, how little of each of these women had left to give. Whether it’s their last two mites ingredients for a last meal. Having to face selling their sons into slavery. In order to meet a debt And yet they’re still asked to give even what little they can still control. That is us.

4. 2:48

   Ideally, we would like to be able to give to God out of our abundance but it may be hardest to sacrifice when we feel like we are at our most vulnerable. I have so little to give But it is God who desires to give to us out of his abundance and to fill our vessels completely, if we are willing to give even what little we have to our Lord and that’s our hearts.

5. 3:18

   So as Paul rightly summarized, from Philippians 3, he said I gave up all things. All things that I might gain Christ because of the surpassing worth of the knowledge of Christ. Everything else feels like rubbish or trash, to me that I’m willing to part with and wish that I never had it back. That’s what knowing Christ was worth. Everything else might as well be like loss. So as always, we hope this strengthens your faith and brightens your day.

6. 3:53

   Brother, Sam Mansfield, the widows and women, who gave all we want to look at for women this morning. Starting with this certain poor Widow that Jesus describes for us in Mark, chapter 12 and I was going to call this the full widows exhort, but technically, one of the women that we’re going to look at may not have been a widow, so we’ll call it the lessons of life from the for women.

7. 4:23

   And I just want to highlight some key terms that we saw there in Mark chapter 12. In Jesus description of this particular we do and what she was doing. Have a look at verse 44 in his description. And he says, they’re for all they did cast in of their abundance, but she of her want did cast in all that, she had even all her living. So we’ve got abundance, we’ve got want, we’ve got all mentioned there twice and we’ve got living Now, the word for want in verse 44, there is the Greek word, who asterius and it means a falling short to be deficient, and it’s really contrast to their obviously, with the abundance of the rich men.

8. 5:11

   They’ve got abundance and the Widow has want and the idea of the word want is not so much poverty but debt. It’s not that she doesn’t have much but she has a negative amount. She is in debt. Not a small net worth but a negative net worth, she’s giving money when she owed money. Now, as this sort of Jesus giving us a sort of invitation to financial recklessness, is that what it’s about giving money to others when you’re in debt yourself? Well the root word of that word that word want is used in Romans chapter 3 and verse 23 and words, you will know pretty well.

9. 5:51

   I think for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. So come short in Romans 3 verse 23. That’s the same word as our want here in March. Mark chapter 12. So Paul and Rome is this telling us when it comes to God’s glory, we’re all in deficit. We’re all in want, says, Paul in Romans because of sin, like the Widow, we’re all in debt to God. And it’s here that we can begin to see the what Jesus is really driving at here with the Widow and her two mites Jesus isn’t sort of, Doling out Financial advice here to his disciples is giving spiritual advice on this occasion. Now, that last word in verse 44 of Mark, chapter 12 is the word living and we sort of use that word to talk about money as in he or she makes a decent living, but the Greek word is just the word.

10. 6:49

    Add bios from which we get obviously, biology, the study of living things that simply means life. When Jesus is saying that this woman cast in all that she had a means, literally that she had less than nothing in terms of possessions. She was in debt or what did she have? What did she cast in all of?

11. 7:14

    She gave all her life. She had nothing else to give and life really is the key here. The rich men cast in abundance of their possessions but she cast in all her life because she had nothing else to give And sometimes we think the lesson from this description by Jesus is one of proportion over volume. The rich man gave as a proportion of their wealth or less than the poor Widow and that’s not wrong. But What proportion did the Widow give A tithe of 10%, which give 20% does?

12. 7:51

    It does God want half? The proportion the Widow gave was 100%. She gave all her life. Now, when we talk about widows your hopefully reminded of Two Old Testament, widows one was visited by Elijah and the other one by Elijah. And the fact that Jesus was talking about a widow, and these two women in a larger, and washes time will also happen to be widows, is only for the first of many parallels that I hope will see have a look at first of Kings chapter 17. 1st Kings 17. So here we’ve got Elijah and Elijah, and the whole nation of Israel is suffering through this intense, drought as we probably know, and God is going to sustain him through this drought.

13. 8:40

    So first is sent to the brook. Cherith and is fed by the Ravens. But in verse 7 of first of Kings 17, the Brooke has dried up. So where does God send him next? You might think that God might send him to perhaps a wealthy landowner who had plenty of storehouses of grain set.

14. 8:59

    Odd for a period of drought that would be the logical in human terms. Thing to do wouldn’t know. But instead God in verse 9 sends him to a woman in Zarephath, a gentile town. And what does she have? Does she have store Houses full of grain know we read what she has in verse 12 and she said as Yahweh thy God liveth I have not a cake but I haven’t handful of meal in a barrel and a little oil in a cruise and behold I’m gathering two sticks which is a curiously specific number of sixes and it to be gathering a bit like two mites in Mark 12. I’m gathering to sticks that I might go in and dress it for me and my son that we may eat it and die. So what has she got?

15. 9:49

    She’s got a handful of meal of flour and a little oil, nothing else. She’s got so little that she’s about to use what she has to make one final meal for herself and her son which isn’t going to be a huge feast because it’s she’s only got a handful of meal to use and a little bit of oil.

16. 10:08

    She going to make one final meal and then die. The oil on the mule represent her entire life because they’re the only thing separating her and her son from death. The cake that a larger request is probably just a simple flat bread made from from meal and oil and bread of course today is still called the staff of life and Moses pointed out that we don’t live by bread alone. We don’t live by bread alone.

17. 10:37

    So the flower and the oil together making bread represents life for this woman and her son and she didn’t have much of either. There’s another important symbol in this story. Note, the repetition of the different types of vessels in this story. So in verse 10, we’re not going to sort of go through the story in detail. Hopefully, we know most of these stories of Elijah and Elisha from Bible class, perhaps or Sunday school lesson. So verse 10.

18. 11:04

    Fetch me a water in a vessel says a larger in verse 12. The woman had a handful of meal in a barrel and a little oil in a cruise so vessel is of it’s just a container Barrel is a type of vessel cruises. Another type of vessel just a flash of vessel, the woman has vessels but they’re almost empty, aren’t they? So, what the vessels represent?

19. 11:31

    All vessels represent bodies. They represent people vessels represent us. Second Corinthians chapter 4 and verse 6. And 7, Paul says, for God who commanded the light to shine out of Darkness, has shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in Earthen vessels. That the Excellency of the power may be of God and not of us. Marson-knight, how pull in that verse parallels, the ideas, you have a lot of God’s glory.

20. 12:07

    God’s character has shined in our hearts, but we have this knowledge. There’s light in Earthen vessels. We are those Earthen vessels that contain this knowledge of God. So vessels represent people. And this miracle is going to take place in the woman’s vessels. So, note carefully, what Elijah says? In verse 14, the barrel is not going to waste and, again, in verse 14, the cruise shall not fail.

21. 12:36

    So a larger doesn’t say that the meal will not go to waste, and the oil won’t fail. It’s the crews and the barrel, the don’t fail as the vessels. The don’t fail, not their contents, but the vessels themselves in verse 16, the barrel wasted. The crews didn’t fail. So the miracle takes place in the vessels the Widow already has. God isn’t going to replace the vessels with new ones, but he is going to replace the contents.

22. 13:08

    The miracle that God works takes place inside the people that he is working with the vessels, go from being, almost empty to becoming sources of oil and flour.

23. 13:22

    And what do the vessels contain in our analogy? What two bodies contain, or they contain life? Don’t they? The vessels contain flour and oil and flour and oil represent life and water represents life to as we’ll see a little bit later, all these things, represent the life that they sustained.

24. 13:42

    So what does all larger task of this Widow? Well it first in verse 10 he just asked for some water and she responds, you know, positively to that she goes to get him some water. He begins by asking her for part of her life, just the water. But then in verse 11, he asked for more, doesn’t he ask for bread?

25. 14:05

    What’s he asking for here? Well, he’s asking for all that she has is literally asking her for her whole life. If the handful of meal and the little oil in the barrel is all that stands between her and death. Then a larger is literally asking for her whole life here. They’re not just her life but that of her son too.

26. 14:27

    In the terms of Mark, chapter 12 Elijah is asking this Widow for all of her living. How does a larger drive this point home to this Widow. How does he show her that God wants all of her life? Not just part of it. We, you’ll notice a pattern in Elijah’s instructions to this woman in first, two kings. 17 verse 10, he tells her fetch me a little water in First Kings. 17 verse 11, he tells her bring me a morsel. In verse 13 about The Keg, he says bring it to me and in verse 18 the woman’s son dies and Elijah instructs. The woman in verse 19.

27. 15:09

    Give me bye son. The Widow thought, she’d given as much as God had asked, she thought she’d given everything to God water, flour oil, but God wants her to give him all her life. And her life is bound up in her son’s life. He is all her life. And finally, God through Elijah asked for that to give me your son. Are we prepared to give God all our life? Now, for most of us and natural life that God asks for us to give to him is not much.

28. 15:45

    My tiny amount of flour, a few teaspoons of oil, but he does want it all. Love the Widow’s to meit’s a couple of pennies. The Widow wasn’t under any delusions. That are two pennies might have been worth anything like what everyone else was tipping into the temple collection bags, worthless really in the overall scheme of things. But the key thing is that God wants us to give it all to him. And a larger effectively makes this Widow confess that the life.

29. 16:16

    She now has a little oil and a handful of flour is not much. It’s only going to Stave off their death for what another day another couple of days. Verse 12, she says that we’re going to eat of it and then die. And yet a larger wants all that. She has God wants all of our life to all the meighan natural life that we have. The life that we might have that might hold death off or what a day three score and ten years.

30. 16:46

    Perhaps God wants it all and we know that we will receive abundance in return and that’s what we’re going to see shortly. But he still wants us to take that step of trusting in Him to giving him a natural life, trusting in Him that he will respond and give us life. Sooner or casting all our cares, upon Him. And Jesus says in Luke chapter 14. So likewise he be of you, the forsaketh, not all that. He hath, he cannot be my disciple, forsake all that. He hath says Jesus.

31. 17:20

    In Luke 14 only once we have done that, can he work with us? Only once we have given him all our meager Natural Life. Can he feel our vessels our bodies with new life? And in reality, of course, our natural lives are very meager, especially now, with lockdowns and isolation. It’s a good time. Perhaps, to review our natural lives and see them for how Mega they really are.

32. 17:46

    Many of us have had our circumstances much reduced, especially socially, I guess not for me, but other people have financially perhaps as well. Hopefully not spiritually though, but sometimes we don’t always see our lives that way. Do we sometimes think about natural life Has a very valuable thing. We might find satisfaction in this life where you might be in money or possessions, but I might be in artistic creation and might be in in family or social relationships. We might be finding satisfaction in all those sort of areas. And that might make our Natural Life, seem that it’s worth more than a couple of Lights.

33. 18:26

    Remember the excuses that were made not to come to the wedding of the Feast of the wedding, Feast of the king. In Luke chapter, 14 again, I’ve brought some oxen, I’ve married a wife, I’ve bought a piece of ground. All these excuses, the people who value their natural lives, more than their relationship with God, and what they could achieve in those natural lives. They valued the more the widows, of course, realize that their natural lives were essentially worthless one meal away from Death Or slavery.

34. 18:58

    And we need to come to that realization to from a spiritual perspective, our natural life is not valuable. It’s a life of debt. We’re two mites at most and we need to recognize that. What’s the result of this Widow giving her whole life? All that she has? Well, a larger promises, her life and return, doesn’t he?

35. 19:20

    But it’s not just the temporary life that she was expecting, but life eternal have a look at verse 14, the oil and the flower would last until God sends rain upon the earth. A bit of a vision of the Kingdom, perhaps verse 15. She ate of this many days, verse 16, the barrel wasted, not the crews didn’t fail. It sounds almost as if they were endless like eternal life, doesn’t it?

36. 19:48

    Interestingly, that would fail in verse 16 means a deficit, a lack or a want. It means a debt and never fell into debt. Just like the Widow and Mark, that same word penury or want the oil would not fall into deficit, it would cover her debt, it would cover her need so we give all our Natural Life to God and we give it first to God.

37. 20:11

    In verse 13. Elijah says, make me their of a little cake first and bring it unto me. Give it all to God. Give it first to God. Many years later, Jesus, says, seek ye first, the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. Luke 6:38 is says, give and it shall be given unto you good measure pressed down and shaken together and running over. Shall men give into your bosom give first two God says Jesus, give it all to God and he will give abundance in return. Spiritual eternal life.

38. 20:49

    And next, we do meets Elijah, and that’s in second Kings, chapter 4. So turn over a few pages to Second and Kings for And this woman strangely is not actually called a widow. But we know she is one because she tells us in second Kings, chapter 4, and verse one, that her husband is dead. They cried a certain woman of the wires of the sons of the Prophet unto.

39. 21:14

    Elijah saying, thy servant my husband is dead and now knowest that thy servant did fear the lord and the Creditor has come to take unto him, my two sons to be bomb. And so this woman like the woman in in Mark 12 is a widow and she’s got creditors, the creditors have come to take my two sons. She says, so she is in deficit, she’s in wants, she’s in debt And like Elijah’s Widow.

40. 21:40

    As verse 2 says, she has nothing in our house, save a pot of oil. a vessel with some oil in it, but obviously not enough oil to pay her debt Now this woman has two sons so there’s that. Number two again, two mites, two sticks, two sons hurt. And the debt is large enough. That both of them are going to be become slaves to pay it off. Just one son would be insufficient. Both sons have to be sold And the sons as who sees as her Descendants, the literal extensions of her life, they represent life to this woman, don’t they? And this woman is surrounded by a loss of life, isn’t she? Our husbands died?

41. 22:23

    His sons are about to become slaves from a family of four. She’s about to be reduced to just one and natural life has become tiny. So in verse 3, Elijah Elijah tells her to borrow empty vessels from her neighbors and fill them from her vessel. So remember second Corinthians, chapter 4, we’ve got this treasure in Earthen vessels, vessels represent, bodies. They represent people and this Widow and almost empty vessel herself.

42. 22:56

    Become surrounded by empty vessels, the empty vessels of her neighbors, and her aim is to fill these vessels with oil from her own vessel. Empty lifeless, bodies become filled with life and they’re filled with life from a vessel that was almost empty itself. So again this miracle takes place in the Widow’s vessel, we do that was bereft of life becomes a source of life. And a couple of other things about this miracle first, the Widow doesn’t actually know that she’s going to sell the oil until verse 7 is not until she’s filled the vessels that Allah should then tells her once.

43. 23:38

    She has taught him. All the vessels are full A-line shape, then tells her to sell the oil while she’s filling up. Her neighbors vessels. She’s not aware that she’s going to be able to convert all this into cash. She might well, have assumed that she was filling up her neighbors vessels, just to give them back to her neighbors.

44. 23:56

    She may well have assumed that our neighbors were going to be the beneficiaries of this miracle not herself. In her mind, she become the recipient oil of oil of life that she was giving to her neighbors.

45. 24:10

    And secondly notice what runs out first in verse 6 of second Kings chapter four, the woman says, bring me yet a vessel and he that’s her son says unto her. There is not a vessel more and the oil stayed So what ran out first was that the oil or the vessels, it was clearly the vessels, wasn’t it.

46. 24:34

    The oil didn’t stop flowing until there were no more vessels to feel in symbol, the life didn’t stop flowing. Until there were no more people to hold it. Life from God is not limited by Supply. It’s only limited by demand. There’s no shortage of spirit life God can give life to as many people as wanted.

47. 25:00

    Our as in Humanities desire, is the only limiting factor to God’s gift. The people that want life are going to run our world war for the supply of that life. So instead of a debt instead of a deficit of life, this Widow has become a source of life in verse 7. Elijah says, sell the oil, pay the debt and live, thou, and thy Children of the rest lives as Elijah.

48. 25:30

    Yes. Elisha in this case, life, that is the point of this miracle, isn’t it? The woman now has abundance of life and her son’s live as well because of this miracle. Cool.

49. 25:45

    So, think about this in relation to the new life that is within us now. We don’t create that you life in us. Do we screw it? Life is not ours. We haven’t provided it. We haven’t labored for it. It doesn’t come out of our store house that we have at all, is a miracle.

50. 26:04

    It’s Supernatural beyond our doing Now launch is Widow would never have claimed that. The the crew is produced in the oil or the or the barrel produced in the flowers ever of her doing. It was clearly a miracle. Elijah’s Widow would have laughed at you if you’d suggested that supply of oil from her Barrel was a product of her own powers and her own work. It was clearly a miracle.

51. 26:32

    And yet, sometimes we might be a little bit tempted to think that some of the goodness that’s within us comes out of us and it’s from our own creation, our own effort our own works. It’s clearly not any righteousness that we possess is as miraculous as the flower that wasted not and the oil that didn’t fail. So can we see the pattern?

52. 26:57

    Here we are. The Widow’s because of sin. We’re born into a debt that we can never repay we live a poor meager vain Natural Life. Only one man can save us and God says acknowledge your debt. Acknowledge the poverty of your natural life. Give it all to me to the point where there is nothing left for you.

53. 27:22

    And we give it to God, we empty our own vessels of the tiny life that we once had and immediately. God fills us up again. Not with natural life now though, but with spiritual life with life eternal, and not just us because that Spirit life, pours, out of us into our families vessels into our neighbors vessels, we become a source of life for other people as well.

54. 27:47

    Now there’s another woman who was asked to give life. I need to receive it back in. Abundance, come with me to John chapter 4. And here’s the woman who’s perhaps, technically not a widow. We don’t really know what happened to the many husband. She had. and this time in John chapter 4 life is not represented by a flower will buy oil, but by water John chapter 4 and verse 7. Then cometh a woman of Samaria draw water. And Jesus said to her, give me to drink. So another woman not necessarily we do this time but but not married either.

55. 28:35

    As we, as we find out later another woman with an empty vessel, she’s come to the well to draw water. And in, we see in verse 28, that she’s brought her own empty vessel to draw water with And what does Jesus say to here in verse 7? Give me to drink. Remember remember Elijah’s words.

56. 28:58

    Fetch me a little water. Bring me a morsel of bread. Make me a little cake. Give me thy son. Jesus, likewise says, here, give me to drink to this woman before you draw water for yourself. Give to me first. Is God’s request. The symbology from Elijah and Elisha has widows flow through to this one.

57. 29:23

    We’re not left in any doubt, the water represents life in this chapter, just as oil and flour did in the Old Testament verse 10. Jesus talks about living water, in verse 14, a well of water springing up into everlasting life, The woman herself is represented by the empty vessel that she brought with her empty of water needing to be filled.

58. 29:48

    Just as the empty vessels of the prophets, widows neighbors represented, the neighbors themselves. She was in want, she needed water. She needed life, she needed Spirit life. And that’s what Jesus promises. Her verse 10. Give me to drink, says Jesus. And I will give you living water. Jesus Promised said more than just a drink of Living Water, doesn’t he promises that sheep?

59. 30:16

    He can become a source of water herself just as he was Give me water and you’ll become not just a vessel containing water, but you’ll become a water source. Is Jesus verse 14, but whosoever, drinketh of the water that I shall give him or her shall never thirst. But the water that I shall give him shall be and note these words especially in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

60. 30:47

    Just like Elijah’s would I give me oil out of your Crews and the crews will become a source of oil or Elijah’s Widow whose empty vessel became a source of oil to feel all her neighbors vessels. This woman of Samaria, with her empty vessel will become a, well of water. Know what Jesus says in him shall be a well of water.

61. 31:11

    Again, the miracle is performed in the vessel in US. an empty vessel with a lack of life, becomes a source of life, this woman is no longer the sort of the bucket that you lower into the well she is the well, And you can see this in action in the woman of Samaria on what sure that Jesus ever, sort of gets his little drink of water, but in verse 28, the woman left, her water pot, so there’s a water pot, she’s left it there, empty. And again the vessel represents the person doesn’t if she leaves her old empty life behind, she gives her entire Natural Life To God In type, and then what happened? She went in her, she went her way into the City and immediately starts preaching the gospel. Well, verse 29 come.

62. 31:58

    See a man is not this the Christ. And verse 30, they went out of the city and came unto him. So this woman and empty vessel living a life of sin lacking and water in life has become a Fountain of Living Waters to her. Entire City, verse 39, and many of the Samaritans of that City believed on for the saying of the woman. So she runs off and collects.

63. 32:26

    All her neighbors. Empty vessels. Just like Elijah’s Widow. She doesn’t need her empty vessel anymore because she is now a well, she has become the source of water. She’s busy filling up, her neighbors, water pots with Spirit life.

64. 32:45

    So, what do we learn from these four women in summary? Come back to Mark, chapter 12, where we started from? Mark chapter 12 and notice how Jesus really just sums up these all these lessons that we’ve seen in the other three separate women in this one, destitute Widow verse 44 again she of her want. So from there we learned that we come to God with a deficit, a debt, a spiritual deficit because of our sins and he wants us to acknowledge that debt to admit that we have really nothing.

65. 33:25

    She of her want did cast in so, despite her want her priority is to give to God. She’s clearly in need. But she’s giving to God, before she meets her own needs. Despite the fact that we really have nothing, God wants what we have. He wants us to give him our Natural Life first, not physical possessions, but out alive the desires of our life. What else is this?

66. 33:54

    44 says she cast in all that she had even with our deficit of life, God wants all of our natural life, all of it the flower for oil, the water, the two minds. What we have? We give it all to him first but we know of course that we’re going to receive back life in abundance. The natural life that we give to God will become in us a source of spirit life.

67. 34:22

    And that Spirit life will not only make us live to God. Our neighbors will benefit as well. So abundant will, that life be for not only our vessels, not only ourselves but all of our neighbors will be filled from it. Now this lesson about giving natural life to God to receive abundance Spirit life in return is all over the Bible but I just want to look at one final example from Paul in Philippians, have a look at Philippians chapter 3. We’ll see that all brings up exactly the same principles here.

68. 35:02

    Philippians chapter 3 and verse 4. Here Paul lists out all the things of his natural life and wealth away. Our is his no Widow with two mites, he has an amazing Natural Life.

69. 35:19

    Philippians chapter 3 and verse 4. And Paul says here though, I might also have confidence in the flesh in my natural life. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof, he might Trust In the Flesh. I’m or how. So, poor verse 5 circumcised, The Eighth Day of the stock of Israel of The Tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews as touching.

70. 35:43

    The law, a Pharisee concerning Zeal, persecuting the Ecclesia touching the right, Righteousness, which is by the law blameless with it. What a rich Natural Life Paul had before he came to the truth. That’s an impressive lift list of achievements, isn’t it way more than a poor Widow with two mites or what we might have achieved in our natural lives?
