EMPTY OFFERING PLATE
Let me tell you about Morgan, a little girl in one of our former churches. As the ushers came down the aisle with the offering plates, Morgan asked her mom what was happening. Mom told her, “They are taking up the offering, and when they get here you can put your quarter in the offering plate.” Morgan replied, “But this quarter is for Jesus.” Mom explained how, by putting her quarter in the plate she was giving it to Jesus, because of the many ways in which her gift would be used for God’s work. As the plate came down her row, Morgan carefully put her quarter in the plate, then turned to her Mom and asked, “If that money is for Jesus, why wasn’t there more in the plate?”
