Today is the first Sunday of my annual family vacation. I appreciate Pastor Jordan Unfried preaching for me today. Here is a reflection of his message:
“Where Do Your Loyalties Lie?”
15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words.
16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they
said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of
God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you
pay no attention to who they are. 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it
right to pay the imperial tax to Caesar or not?”
18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you
trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought
him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose
inscription?” 21 “Caesar’s,” they replied. Then he said to them,
“So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.
Matthew 22:15-22 NIV
