Worship into the Week-
Matthew 22:15-22
Paying Taxes to Caesar
The Pharisees were plotting
to entangle Jesus in his words.
Let's get this guy to mess up big time.
They sneak up with-
"we know you are
true and teach the way of God truthfully,
and you do not are about anyone's opinion,
for you are not swayed by appearances."
So they came up with the perfect "trick" question.
"Tell us, then what you think.
Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar , or not?"
Jesus knew what they were up to in their query.
and chided them- you hypocrites.
He asked for a coin and they brought him a denarius
with the likeness and inscription of Caesar.
Solution?
"...render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's
and to God the things that are God's."
They marveled. They left.
They had been outfoxed - big time.Everything belongs to God.
He wants all.
Honor Caesar and give him what he is due.
Back to the drawing board.
It is going to be challenging to
find something that will mess Jesus up.
They just didn't understand who He was.
