“Render to Caesar…”

 (ID: 2841)

Under Roman occupation, the Jews were divided about whether it was ethical to pay taxes to Caesar—and to trap Jesus, they asked Him to solve the dilemma. Jesus reminded them that each life bears the image of someone with more authority than Caesar and that their deepest debt was a responsibility to God. Considering Jesus’ words, Alistair Begg explains how political issues of the age can distract us from the primary issue of the rule of Christ in our hearts and minds.
