Tribute to Caesar

Sept 1 – Tribute to Caesar – Luke 20:20-26
  

                There were men that were assigned to keep a close watch on Jesus and to find out if there was something  they could accuse him of so they could turn Him over to the governor.  They sent someone to question Him about who they should pay their taxes too, Caesar or not?  Jesus asked for a coin and when it was given to Him, He asked whose image was on the coin.  They said, “Caesar,” to which He responded, “Give to Caesar was is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.”  They were silenced and astonished by His wisdom.  This is a great exhortation for us today.  Give what is man’s to man and what is God’s to God.
