The most basic human rights

The Bible is sometimes not pay attention to detail, and sometimes special attention to details, such as a poor widow is so meager contribution. Jesus is the heart, he not only found the details, but also deeply moved by this small, solemnly taught his disciples, led to the matter of the written document for future generations lips.

The widow of silver to the library but threw in two mites. Some scholars said the two little money was just enough of the poorest people in the meal; some said, specifically mentioned in Scripture in two mites, because the widow is possibly a little money to remain in the own use; some said It is the dedication of two mites into the temple to worship God required Israel to pay ... ... No matter what kind of argument, make people feel poor widow purse and a great cast.

When the Gospel to the people, often said: Faith can not eat, or talk about what other believe it or not keep living it! The economic base determines the superstructure of thinking deeply rooted. But this passage, we see the opposite choice: even if no food, can not do without faith; even starve to death, can not give up worship.

Faith is the God-given human right to basic human rights. Faith is not a forced or deceived obligations, but the person the dignity and value of the real. The world is constantly turn people into tools, machinery and symbols, and according to their own image of God made man, who has continued to call him a man not to be material ─ ─ overwhelm a person, a person is not flat crawl , an ultimate concern of the people.

The history of Israel between the two about how heroic Maccabean revolt, the Jews would rather commit suicide, do not want to become a Roman slave, to recognize Caesar is God, to give up their belief in one God. Not worship the one God, they would rather die. The right to freedom of worship is the most sacred of human rights. This heroic scenes recall a few years later, it is moved. The later Roman Empire had to admit the Jews had the freedom to worship one God. Freedom of belief is that they squeeze the door open, they take the initiative to have come.

Adhering to this traditional knowledge of the poor widow:'d rather go hungry, and do not ignore the contribution; would rather give up life, and do not give up the worship. This rush of office workers, but superior to those from the Sunday people who also earn money, how rare.

Faith is not optional furnishings,
But absolutely essential authority;
Worship is not forced to do the duty
But where the value and dignity.
