This story is one of the most exceptional stories Jesus told, because it sends a very strong message across. It would have been very easy for that widow to use her last penny to get something primarily for herself. After all, she could hold on to the excuse of her having little or nothing. But she chose to give it all. Everything! That is one very exceptional display of faith and loyalty to God, and Jesus recognized her for her bold action.
